When purchasing a vehicle, it is worth remembering that compulsory motor insurance is in force in Ukraine. Motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) is a Ukrainian insurance policy that compensates victims of road accidents. On Visit Ukraine, you can buy a CTP insurance policy from a licensed insurer. Packages with a deductible of UAH 3200, UAH 1600 and UAH 0 are available.

To double your protection on the country's roads, we recommend considering voluntary Mini Hull insurance, which provides compensation not only if you are a victim but also if you are found guilty of an accident. On Visit Ukraine portal, you can buy Mini Hull insurance from a reliable insurer for reliable protection on the country's roads. There are three types of packages available for periods ranging from a month to a year for cars, motorcycles, scooters, trucks, as well as trailers and semi-trailers.

Remember. If you change your first name, patronymic or surname, you must exchange your driving licence and vehicle registration certificate. Read more about the procedure, where to apply and how much the service costs here.
