All Vehicle Insurance Policies

It is widely understood that a vehicle is one of our most valuable and important assets.

Our vehicle has financial, practical, and emotional value. However, it is highly exposed to multiple risks, including road accidents causing bodily injury and property damage, theft, and various other loss events. Accordingly, it is essential to maintain Comprehensive Insurance protection that provides optimal coverage at a competitive cost.

Insurance companies in Israel offer Vehicle Insurance Policies with a wide range of coverages and optional extensions at varying price levels. To obtain the most suitable and cost-effective Vehicle Insurance, it is advisable to conduct a proper comparison. For this purpose, the BEST PRICE system enables you to receive, at the click of a button, motor insurance quotations from multiple insurance companies. All that remains is to compare the prices and policy terms and choose the coverage that best fits your needs.

Types of Vehicle Insurance

Compulsory Insurance – According to the law in Israel, every vehicle must be insured with valid Compulsory Insurance. This is basic statutory coverage, that provides insurance protection for bodily injury sustained by the driver or any third party injured as a result of the use of the policyholder's vehicle.

Comprehensive Insurance – As the name implies, comprehensive insurance provides coverage for loss or damage to your vehicle resulting from events such as theft, road accidents, fire damage, natural disasters, malicious damage, and similar risks. It also includes Third-Party (Liability) Insurance. Comprehensive Insurance is optional and is purchased in addition to the Compulsory Insurance.

Third Party Insurance – Provides coverage in cases where you cause damage to the property of a third party while using your vehicle. Third-party insurance is optional and may be purchased in addition to the Compulsory Insurance. There is no need to purchase it separately if you already hold a Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance policy that includes Third-Party Liability coverage.

Compulsory Insurance

Compulsory Vehicle Insurance is mandatory by law in Israel, even if the vehicle is parked and not in use. Compulsory Insurance is designed to cover bodily injury to passengers in the insured vehicle and to pedestrians injured as a result of the use of the vehicle. It covers all medical expenses, compensation for loss of income up to the statutory cap (up to three times the average wage in the economy), and compensation for pain and suffering. Under compulsory insurance, fault is not a factor. Even if the injured party is solely responsible for the injury, the insurer will compensate according to the coverage provided under the law.

Comprehensive Insurance

Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance covers damage to the policyholder's own property, unlike Compulsory Insurance which covers bodily injury only.
Comprehensive Insurance includes damages resulting from accidents, fire, theft, floods, and other insured perils, and covers damage to the vehicle itself as well as property damaged in an accident. It also typically includes Third-Party Liability coverage. Comprehensive Insurance is optional (not mandatory); however, without it, the policyholder will bear the financial cost of damages or losses arising from such events. Compensation for property damage under the Comprehensive Insurance is not an arbitrary fixed amount but is subject to the value of the insured vehicle and the policy terms. However, indemnity cannot exceed the actual value of the damaged property.

Third Party Insurance

Third-Party Insurance (purchased in addition to the Compulsory Insurance) is intended to cover damage caused to the property of a third party who is neither the policyholder nor an authorized driver under the policy. Third-party insurance does not cover damage to the insured’s own vehicle. It is optional coverage. The insurer’s liability is limited to the coverage limit specified in the policy. Third-party insurance is significantly less expensive than Comprehensive Insurance.

שאלות ותשובות

“The Pool” (Israeli Vehicle Insurance Pool)

This is a statutory entity established by the Supervisor of Insurance, in which all insurance companies participate according to their relative share in the Vehicle Insurance Sector. Its purpose is to provide compulsory motor insurance to drivers whom insurers refuse to insure, typically due to being classified as high-risk drivers or because the vehicle is considered high-risk. This may include young drivers (generally under age 21), new drivers, motorcyclists, and similar risk profiles. Such drivers may obtain compulsory insurance through “The Pool,” where premiums are typically 20%–35% higher than standard market rates.

Deductible

In property insurance policies (as opposed to Compulsory Insurance), insurers require that policyholders bear part of the claim cost in the event of a loss. This amount is referred to as the "deductible" and is defined in the policy terms. The sum of the "deductible" varies between insurance companies. Its main purpose is to reduce the frequency of small claims. It is important to pay attention to the deductible amount, as a high deductible may make filing a claim financially less worthwhile. Through BEST PRICE, it is possible to compare deductible amounts before making a decision. Additionally, in some products, a deductible waiver may be purchased for an additional one-time premium.

Underwriting

This is the process by which the insurance contract is issued between the insurer and the insured. During underwriting, the clients provides details about the vehicle and the authorized drivers. Insurers also review accident history, driver demographics (such as age and gender), and the client's prior insurance record over recent years. Based on the vehicle and driver risk profile, the insurer determines the premium. It is essential to provide accurate and complete information during underwriting. Failure to disclose full and accurate details may result in denial or reduction of claim payments.

Depreciation (Diminution in Value)

Depreciation (diminution in value) refers to the reduction in the vehicle’s market value following repairs after an accident. In severe accidents, even after repairs, the vehicle’s value may be adversely affected. The extent of depreciation is determined by a certified motor vehicle appraiser. The extent of depreciation is determined by a certified motor vehicle appraiser.

Policy

The insurance policy is the contractual agreement with the insurer in exchange for the premium paid. Vehicle Insurance policies in Israel are "standardized policies," meaning the Supervisor of Insurance has defined a uniform policy wording. The insurance company may not remove mandatory clauses but may add additional coverage extensions.

Compensation (Indemnity / Insurance Benefits)

By law, the insurer must pay the claim amount within 30 days from the date of the insured event, provided all required documentation has been submitted. In the case of vehicle theft, the insurer is obligated to indemnify the insured if the vehicle is not recovered within 45 days from the date of theft. In the event of a vehicle theft, the company is liable for payment if the vehicle is not found within 45 days of the date of theft.

Annual Premium

The premium is the annual amount paid to the insurance company in order to obtain the selected insurance coverage for one year.

Riders (optional add-ons)Riders

Riders are additional coverages that can be added to a Comprehensive Policy (and sometimes to a Third-Party coverage). These extensions may be purchased for an additional premium and may sometimes be offered at no extra cost. Examples include coverage for vehicle accessories not included in the standard policy, towing and roadside assistance, replacement vehicle coverage, glass coverage, mirror coverage, and personal belongings coverage. Through BEST PRICE, a wide range of additional Vehicle Insurance services can be obtained to ensure continuous peace of mind while driving.

Motor Vehicle Appraiser

A Motor Vehicle Appraiser is a licensed professional authorized by the Ministry of Transport whose role is to assess the extent of damage and, in many cases, the amount of compensation payable to the policyholder or claimant. The policyholder has the right to select an appraiser from a list of external appraisers provided by the insurance company. This list is determined by the insurance company. The insurance company typically pays the appraiser's fees. The insured may also choose an appraiser who is not on the insurer’s external list; in such cases, the policyholder pays the appraiser directly and may subsequently claim reimbursement from the insurance company.
