Motor insurance is statutory. This means that every motorised vehicle that is used in transport must be covered by motor insurance. It provides compensation for personal injury to those travelling in their own car and for personal injury and property damage caused to other parties. Your motor insurance does not cover the damage caused to your own car, but you need a voluntary car insurance policy to cover it.
Voluntary car insurance
The vehicle itself is covered by voluntary car insurance. In addition, other damages specifically mentioned in the terms and conditions of the insurance are compensated. You can also take care of the voluntary car insurance at an A-Katsastus service point. Our partners are Fennia, If, LähiTapiola, Pohjantähti, Pohjola/OP, POP Insurance and Turva.
