MOTOR INSURANCE

Introduction

In 2021 in Cyprus, more than 67,000 claims have been examined by the insurance companies and close to 120 million euros were paid in compensations.

As is generally the case in all developed countries, vehicle insurance is also mandatory in Cyprus and concerns damages or injuries caused to a third party (cover against a third party) and not necessarily damages or injuries that the insured himself will suffer.

We strongly recommend the purchase of the ‘Motor Comprehensive Executive’ policy, where, in addition to the mandatory coverages against third parties, all coverages available on the market for the damages of your own vehicle are provided through this policy, including coverages from natural phenomena.

The secret to car insurance is support and service when the accident happens. The person who will support you must have the necessary knowledge, be in a position to correctly advise you and have excellent relations with the insurance company.

 

The contract covers

Car insurance obligatorily covers the Insured’s legal liability for payment of compensation to third parties for bodily injuries, injuries, death and damages to third party property and extends to additional covers depending on the policy the customer will purchase.

The compensation limits are €38,600,000 per incident for bodily injury or death of third parties and €1,300,000 per incident for property damage.

The car insurance policy is offered in the following forms:

Third Party Liability Coverage and Comprehensive coverage including natural hazards

Third Party Liability Coverage and Comprehensive Coverage

Third Party, Fire and Theft Liability Coverage

Third Party Liability Coverage.

 

The contract is addressed

It is addressed to owners of private and commercial motor vehicles.

 

Basic Coverages

On the condition that the car value exceeds €3,000, we strongly recommend the purchase of the ‘Motor Comprehensive Executive’ policy, which provides all the coverages available on the market, including coverages from natural phenomena.

The coverage of the 3 main Motor policies that we offer are detailed below.

Increase your coverages

In addition to the coverages offered and illustrated above, you can add the following coverages to your policy:

No Claim Protection (2 options). With a very low additional insurance premium you can ensure that your premium will not increase in the following years due to an accident where you will bear responsibility for the damages.

Increased Windscreen Cover. The Windscreen today is a high-cost part of the car. With a very low additional premium, you can provide that in the event of damage to the windscreen of your car, you will not have to pay additional money to cover the cost beyond the amount you are insured for the windscreen.

When does my Motor insurance start and end?

Can I insure my vehicle if it is not registered in my name?

You cannot insure a car that is not registered in your name. However, for the purpose of registering the vehicle in your name, an insurance policy or temporary cover note is issued to enable you to proceed with the registering of the vehicle in your name.

 

What is an excess or deductible in vehicle insurance?

It is the amount of money you will need to pay in the event of a claim before your insurance company will cover the remaining amount. If your policy has a €200 deductible and you make a claim for €1,000 worth of damage to your vehicle, you will need to pay the first €200 of the repair costs and the insurance company will pay the remaining €800.
