How am I best insured?
Some insurances are a statutory requirement in Denmark, in particular third-party insurances for cars, motorcycles, mopeds and dogs – it is mandatory for you to have such an insurance if you own a car or dog, for example.
Other insurances are also advantageous, though not mandatory, in particular accident insurance, contents insurance and travel insurance if you travel frequently. These insurances give you good cover in most respects.
