Home Contents Insurance Premium from Centraal Beheer

When determining the premium for home contents insurance, Centraal Beheer considers the type of home and its condition. For example, when taking out the insurance, you must provide several details, such as your date of birth, family composition, postcode, and address. Based on this, the details of your home are retrieved from their database. Additionally, you must provide the type of home (flat, semi-detached, etc.), the kind of roof your home has, and whether you share your home with others. Your premium is calculated based on this information.

Below, you will find the starting premiums that Centraal Beheer offers, based on the details of a 20-year-old student in Utrecht. The premium may, therefore, be different for you, depending on your personal situation. In addition to home contents insurance, the table also shows the premiums for other home insurance policies and additional coverage from Centraal Beheer.
