Move list to the right

Damage due to fire, explosion or a lightning strike

We cover material damage caused by fire, explosion or a lightning strike, as well as expenses associated with extinguishing the fire, rescue and clean-up. And if your house is temporarily uninhabitable due to an accident covered by the policy, we’ll pay for you to rent another home for the time it takes to repair or rebuild yours. Plus, if you’re renting out the property, we’ll compensate you for the economic loss of the rents not received.

Water damage

Water damage is the most common incident in homes. That's why MyBox Hogar offers some of the broadest cover on the market. We cover material damage caused by accidental water leaks from pipes or fuel contained in tanks connected to the water network; by breakage of pipes due to icing or failure to turn off taps; damage to the property from leaks due to defects in sealing joints (bath tubs, shower trays, etc.); and expenses to repair built-in or visible plumbing, and to unclog pipes.

Glass breakage

We cover the replacement, installation and assembly due to accidental breakage of glass, glass panes, mirrors, methacrylates, marble and granite, as well as sanitary ware and the glass of a glass-ceramic hob.

Lock replacement

We cover the replacement of locks on doors with direct access to the home or to adjoining outbuildings that are not communal and are located on the same property, due to theft of the keys anywhere or robbery outside of the home. Cover of 1%, min. €360, max. €720

Wide-ranging building insurance

Full damage cover that includes damage caused to the property due to an unexpected accident other than those provided for in any other cover, for example, the accidental breakage of a floor tile due to a falling object. Cover of 100% for the building, min. €20,000, max. €1,000,000

Cosmetic damage to the building

We even cover returning the building to the aesthetic it had before the incident in the rooms inside the home. For example, we’ll paint the entire room so there isn't a difference in the paint shades. Cover of 1%, min. €1,800, max. €4,500

Civil liability

Extensive civil liability cover which includes material damages or personal injury to third parties for which you are liable, regardless of whether the origin of the damages is the building or its contents; damages resulting from minor repairs or those damages caused by people who live with you in the property, for example, under-age children. We also cover civil liability for pets, even if they are dangerous breeds (dogs) and saddle horses, provided they have the pertinent documentation and health controls. Cover of €300,000 which can be extended to €600,000 or €1,500,000.

Theft

Broad theft cover which protects your belongings inside and outside of the home, even the damage that thieves may cause to the building or its furnishings as a result of the theft or its attempt. We also cover theft of goods inside the home, the theft of personal documents (€60 for ID card, passport or driver's licence in the principal residence) and the theft of goods from outbuildings such as storage spaces, individual garages and similar spaces, which are located on the same property and are duly locked. Cover within the home: robbery 100%, cash limited to €300; theft: 10%. Cover in outbuildings: robbery: 10%, max. €6,000. Cover only for the habitual residence: valuables, jewellery and cash inside the property. This also includes cover for robberies in public spaces, up to €600 (or €1,200 if extended cover is taken out).

Electrical damage

We cover the damage caused to the electrical installation and electrical devices due to electrical alteration coming from outside the insured home. Cover of 100% for electrical appliances in the building: 5% of the contents, min. €3,000, max. €6,000.

Weather

We cover damage caused by rain over 40 l/m2, wind between 75 km/h and 120 km/h, hail and snow. We also cover damage caused by flooding as a result of lake overflow or diversion and the breakage of underwater or surface water courses or channels. Additionally, for leaks in the building, we also cover damage due to leaks in roofs and façades, once the origin is repaired, regardless of rainfall intensity.

Vandalism by tenants

If you’re renting out your property, MyBox Hogar offers cover especially designed for this situation. We cover damage caused by vandalism or malicious acts carried out by your tenant on the property (up to €3,000). Additionally, if your tenants fail to pay or you have any other conflict related to the lease (cover for uninhabitability and loss of rent: 10%, maximum 2 years), we provide a legal protection service that will mediate extrajudicial claims in defence of your interests (legal protection cover: €6,000/year).

Home maintenance service

The MyBox Hogar policy not only protects you from the unexpected, but it also offers a variety of services, including a maintenance service that you can use to make adjustments or small repairs to your home.

Home assistance

Capital or sum insured

The maximum amount that the insurance company will assume in the event of an incident, per cover and insurance period.

Cover

The insurance company’s main obligation in an insurance contract. It consists of taking responsibility for the economic consequences of an incident, up to the limit of the insured sum.

Contents

This refers to the furnishings and other personal objects insured by the policy.

Insured building or property

All elements that define and make up the empty property and its outbuildings (foundation, floor, walls, ceilings, roof, bathrooms, doors, windows, blinds, awnings, electrical fittings, plumbing, etc.).

An easy rule to remember: imagine you put the property in the palm of your hand and turn it over. Everything that doesn’t fall out is the building.

Theft

Appropriation of the insured assets against the will of the insured person, without the use of force regarding things, or violence to or intimidation of people.

Underinsurance

Insuring something for below its value. This is a situation in which the value of the sum insured is below the real value of the asset being protected, which results in application of the proportional rule.

Jewellery

This category of goods includes gold and platinum objects and precious stones. Jewellery pieces with an individual value below 400 euros are part of the contents and are insured within its capital. Jewellery pieces with an individual value equal to or greater than 400 euros can be insured if the optional valuables cover is taken out.

Valuables

This category of goods includes leather goods, stamp and coin collections and antiquities, pieces of art, objects in silver or marble that do not contain platinum, gold, pearls or precious stones. Valuables with an individual value below 3,000 euros are part of the furnishings and are insured within their capital. Valuables with an individual value equal to or greater than 3,000 euros can be insured if the optional valuables cover is taken out.

Policy or contract

The document containing the terms and conditions for the insurance and, if necessary, the supplement or supplements that amend or complement these terms and conditions.

Premium

The price of the insurance policy.

Proportional rule

Calculation to determine compensation when an asset is insured for below its value. The formula that we apply to calculate the compensation when the insured capital is less than the value of the property insured:

Compensation = Insured capital x amount of the damages / value of the insured objects.

Theft

Seizure of the insured assets through violent actions or intimidation of people, or through the exercise of force on things, carried out with the purpose of gaining access to the insured building where the assets are located.

Covered event

Any unexpected damage or loss that was unintentional on the part of the insured person, with consequences established in your policy’s cover, for example: breakage of glass or of a bathroom element. On the other hand, breakdowns or breakage that occur due to normal wear and tear over time shall not be considered an event, e.g. the mechanical failure of a boiler.

Policyholder

The person who takes out the insurance policy (you).

First, allow us to clarify which events are covered by the policy:

A covered event is any unexpected damage or loss that was unintentional on the part of the insured person, with consequences established in your policy’s cover, for example: breakage of glass or of sanitary ware. On the other hand, breakdowns or breakage that occur due to normal wear and tear over time shall not be considered an event, e.g. the mechanical failure of a boiler.

  • Step 1:
    If someone is injured or if you’re in danger, call emergency services on 112.
  • Step 2:
    Use any available means to minimise the consequences of the loss.
