Household insurance: Calculate and compare premiums
Household contents insurance protects your beloved possessions in your home. In the event of dangers such as fire, water, mains water, storm, hail and other natural and natural hazards, you will be financially supported by the household insurance.
Burglary, robbery and vandalism are also covered by household contents insurance. You also have the option of insuring glass damage, building and furniture glass. A great advantage of this is that some insurance companies waive the imputation of gross negligence. For you, this means that damage caused by your carelessness, such as a forgotten candle, does not lead to a reduction in compensation.

Household contents insurance basic cover
All moveable items in your home are covered if:
- by fire (e.g. fire, smoke, lightning or explosion)
- by natural hazards (e.g. flood, inundation, storm or hail)
- by water (e.g. if liquid leaks from pipes, installations, aquariums or waterbeds)
- Burglary (someone forcibly enters your home)
- Robbery (someone takes possessions from you by force)

Furniture glass
Furniture glass refers to furniture that has glass built into it, such as a glass table, wall mirror, display case glass or glass in cabinets. However, windows or the glass door of the home are not included. It is very important to know that depending on the household insurance, special exclusions apply. For example, hollow glass (e.g. vases and aquariums) is not insured. Lamps, spectacle lenses, drinking glasses, hand mirrors or light bulbs are also not financially covered by household contents insurance.
Theft from outside
Simple theft away from home is an important additional benefit of household insurance. Theft that occurs outside your home is also covered by household insurance. For example: You go swimming at the lake, put your mobile phone under your towel and then go for a swim. When you come back you realise that your mobile phone has been stolen. Important to know: Losing or misplacing your item is not theft and is not covered in this case.
