Law/Patents - Insurance / insurance waiver

English term or phrase: comprehensive damage

This is a term used by a motorhome rental company. I don't seem to be able to find the German equivalent in any of the glossaries.

Could it be "Vollkaskoschäden"? I was always under the impression that collision is "Vollkasko" and comprehensive is "Teilkasko". In this case I need to figure out what "comprehensive damage" is in German.

Thank you for your help.

Vollkasko- Versicherung

Explanation:
This is the German equivalent of "comprehensive insurance" as we understand it in the UK

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

\"Teilkasko\" is what we call an \"excess\", whereby the motorist has to bear the first 150 € of any claim (for example). So \"Vollkasko\" is covered 100% by the insurer.

When you hire a car, you either accept an \"excess\" if damage is caused to the car under your contract, or pay a little extra for what is called a \"CDW\", or \"collision damage waiver\" insurance.
But \"comprehensive damage\"?? Strange use of the term...

I guess you may be looking for \"Schaden/Schäden unter eine Vollkaskoversicherung\"
