What does underinsurance and underinsurance waiver mean?
An underinsurance exists if the agreed sum insured is lower than the value of the entire household. If an insured event occurs, underinsurance can lead to the insurer only paying the damage pro rata. The policyholder then has to pay the remaining part out of his own pocket.
An example of underinsurance would be that the insurer and the policyholder have agreed on a sum insured of 50,000 euros, with the total household value having a value of 100,000 euros. Now there is a loss of 20,000 euros. Property damage is less than the sum insured, however, the policyholder has only half of the true value of household contents insurance, so half of the damage will be compensated. In this case, the insurance takes over a share of 10,000 euros and the insured person must pay the remaining 10,000 euros itself.
If the so-called sub-insurance waiver has been agreed, the clause does not count any underinsurance in the claims settlement. The clause means that the insurer waives an examination of the value of your household and paid up to the sum insured, which was agreed in the policy.
Are borrowed items insured in the household insurance?
