In general, the following applies to an insurer; the lower the insured amount, the lower the premium you have to pay.

Amount of the deductible

There are also insurers that do not have a deductible. Usually the following applies to an insurer; the higher the deductible, the lower the premium.

Are you unable to get through the complicated and opaque policy terms and conditions? Or do you have any doubts about the amount to be insured in your personal situation? Then it is possible to request advice from an insurance advisor.

Discounts

Before you take out insurance, you can investigate whether you can get discounts on your premium. Insurers often offer package discounts if you take out multiple insurance policies. They also often offer special student discounts.

Single or cohabiting

If you live with someone or you already have children, you can take out family liability insurance in which everyone is insured. Take your personal situation into account when comparing the various liability insurances.

Co-insurance with your parents

If your parents have taken out family liability insurance, it is often possible to be co-insured as a student. Even when you are away from home or doing an internship. You can check this with your parents before you take out insurance. This is to prevent double insurances.
