Attention! There are strict requirements for this, though, and suspending can create difficulties in getting your car reinsured when you return.<\/p>\n<h2>Which car insurance should I choose?<\/h2>\n<p>It is always useful to compare different car insurance policies.<br \/>\nAfter all, good car insurance is very important.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t want to be left empty-handed if something happens to your car.<br \/>\nShould you not be able to pay for damage to the car yourself or replace the car in case of high repair costs (or total loss) then an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allianzdirect.nl\/autoverzekering\/all-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all risk car insurance<\/a> is always a good choice.<br \/>\nShould you be able to cover all costs yourself, other forms of insurance may also be appropriate.<br \/>\nSo research for yourself what you can and cannot do and what you do and do not value.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you own a car (motor vehicle) you are required by law to insure it.
