This insurance is mandatory, if the car owner plans to drive his car abroad. To issue green card in Lviv online for fifteen days is possible for approx 500 UAH.
What gives CASCO?
КАСКО – вид страхування, which protects the customer's car. Protection extends to road accidents, natural disasters, damage and theft. In the event of an insured event, the company pays for the repair of the car or reimburses the cost according to the contract.
When there is a need to issue a DCV policy?
ДЦВ – це страховка на випадок, if the insurance amount under OSAGO will not be enough to pay the loss. When concluding the contract, the policy has a payment threshold. If this value is exceeded, the car owner, who caused the accident, must refund the amount, which is lacking for out-of-pocket compensation.
If you issue a DCV, this money can be taken from the "stock", provided by the policy. Decision, to take or not to take DCV, remains with the car owner: for some, it is safer to have additional insurance just in case, for others, it is better not to overpay for another contract.
