Read the article for detailed information on policies, the procedure for issuing them, prices and restrictions.

Does standard (compulsory) car insurance cover war risks?

In Ukraine, it is mandatory to take out a Motor Third Party Liability Insurance (MTPL) policy. However, this insurance coverage only includes compensation for material damage caused to the property of other road users: damage to vehicles and compensation for medical expenses for injured persons. All other cases, including military ones, are not covered by MTPL. Moreover, it can only be taken out for cars with Ukrainian registration.

The second insurance policy is the Green Card. It is mandatory for everyone entering the territory of Ukraine. ‘The Green Card operates on the principle of compulsory motor third party liability insurance in 44 countries that are parties to the agreement. However, it also does not cover war risks.
