What does full casco insurance cover?

The precise cover provided by full casco insurance depends on the product offered by the car insurance company. As well as the cover provided by partial casco insurance (e.g. natural hazards such as hail and fire), full casco also includes damage to your own car caused by collisions (e.g. damaged bonnet as a result of you running into the back of another vehicle). It does not matter whether the damage is your fault or someone else’s.
