In the face of significant climate change and an increase in the frequency of natural disasters - from floods and hail to hurricanes and earthquakes - protecting a car from unpredictable natural phenomena is becoming an important part of car owners' financial security. Conventional MTPL policies do not cover losses from natural disasters, so special attention should be paid to hull insurance and its variants, such as Mini-Hull Insurance.


What natural disasters can threaten a car?


The main natural phenomena that can cause damage to the car:


- Hail

- Flood or flooding

- Hurricanes and storms

- Earthquakes

- Forest fires

- Landslides and landslides


Any of these events can lead to significant damage or even complete loss of the vehicle.


How does Mini CASCO work?


Mini CASCO is a voluntary policy that provides additional protection to vehicle owners. The main difference between the policy and the well-known motor third party liability insurance is that with Mini CASCO, the driver can rely on his insurance not only if he is the victim, but also if he is found to be the culprit of an accident.


In addition to damage as a result of an accident, depending on the chosen package, Mini CASCO covers tow truck services, complete destruction of the vehicle as a result of a natural disaster and passive war risks.


The Mini CASCO policy is available not only for Ukrainians, but also for foreigners who are planning a trip to Ukraine and want to take care of additional protection on the roads.
