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.

How much are overpaying for policies?
Generosity of insurers: how much do people overpay for policies? Services for the sale of policies to insurers themselves cost 241.4 billion rubles in the first nine months of 2019.
