Hanoi Truck Insurance: A Comprehensive Guide

Mr. Ba, a familiar rice truck driver on Nguyen Trai Street, Ha Dong, once shared with me: “Driving a truck like mine, scratches and bumps are a daily occurrence. Once, while driving on Lang Street, I swerved to avoid a careless motorbike and hit a roadside tree. Luckily, I was unharmed, but the truck was dented, costing tens of millions to repair.”

Mr. Ba’s story reminded me of the importance of voluntary car insurance. Because compulsory insurance only compensates for a part of the damage, voluntary insurance will be a “savior” for your finances in unfortunate cases.

So what is voluntary car insurance? How to buy it effectively? Let’s find out in detail with HANOI TRUCK through the article below.
