Car insurance: the main points
Car insurance: the main points "You call on God, but you have to do it yourself". This proverb is very applicable to the topic of risk insurance. When you buy a car, you want to think only about the positive aspects of its use. And this is correct. However, you should not forget that a car is a means of increased danger and, therefore, increased responsibility. After all, its operation involves risks of harm to the vehicle itself, its owner, and third parties. Therefore, we hope for the best, but do not forget about the need to insure our liability (possible risks and losses).

In addition to compulsory insurance, no one deprives car owners of the right to additionally use voluntary insurance. In this section, we will consider in detail all the most important issues that may be related to vehicle insurance. Insurance is a rather specific type of activity. Therefore, bef...

Insurance forms. What are these and what are they?
Insurance forms In insurance, two forms of realization of insurance relations are known: compulsory and voluntary. The criterion for such a division is the will of the parties. The will of the state through a special law stipulates the obligatory form of insurance, and the will of the policyholders through an application for insurance – voluntary. Consider these two forms in more detail. The initiator of compulsory insurance is the state. The state establishes a mandatory form of insurance, as a rule, in cases where: insurance protection of certain subjects is connected with the interests of not only individual policyholders, but also society as a whole; a certain group of risks is not accepted by insurers for insurance within its voluntary form due to the unprofitability of their insurance; the cost of voluntary insurance is too high for the policyholder; the policyholder underestimates the degree of danger and possible consequences of the insured event, and the publi...

5 tips for car tourists (Green Card)
5 Tips for Car Tourists (“Green Card”) To ensure that your car trip abroad goes smoothly, consider these 5 tips from MTIBU Director General Volodymyr Shevchenko on how the international system of motor third party liability insurance “Green Card” works. Tip #1. Preparation is half the battle When you plan to travel abroad by car, take care not only of preparing your own documents, but also check in advance whether you will be able to cross the border.
