What is Compulsory Car Insurance and Why Do You Need It?

Compulsory Motor Vehicle Civil Liability Insurance, also known as compulsory car insurance, is a type of insurance that vehicle owners in Vietnam must purchase by law. This insurance protects you and other road users in case of an accident.

Surely, Mr. Nguyen Van A (the owner of a truck driving on Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi) still remembers the collision with a motorbike a few months ago. Fortunately, Mr. A had purchased compulsory insurance, so the insurance company covered the motorbike repair costs and the victim’s medical expenses, relieving him of financial and emotional burdens.
