Bus/Financial - Insurance
Dutch term or phrase: bereddingskosten
These are costs related to preventing or minimizing damage of insured property (costs also covered under a policy). Arrangement costs is literal, but sounds a bit odd. Help from any insurance experts would be appreciated.

Asker: Thanks, but unfortunately, salvage costs are under a separate category. Also these costs are for preventative measures, not clean-up.

Explanation:
An alternative.

See link for explanation of 'bereddingskosten' in Dutch. I suggest that the 'minimize' aspect in Davorka's answer could be included as above, following on from Tina's suggestion too.
