Comprehensive Vehicle Protection: What CASCO Covers in Uzbekistan

In our previous article, we examined 5 key reasons why you should get CASCO for your vehicle. Today, we'll focus in detail on the first and most important reason – the comprehensive protection that this type of insurance provides.

Why Isn't Compulsory Insurance Enough?

Many car owners in Uzbekistan limit themselves to compulsory third-party liability insurance (CTPL). However, it's important to understand that CTPL only protects your liability toward other road users. If you cause an accident, your insurance company will compensate the injured party. But who will pay for your vehicle's repairs? In this case, CTPL won't help.

This is where comprehensive auto insurance CASCO comes to the rescue. This policy is designed to protect your vehicle from a wide range of risks.

What Does CASCO Cover?

A CASCO policy is your financial safety net for various mishaps. A standard vehicle insurance contract under the CASCO program typically covers the following risks:

1. Traffic Accidents:

CASCO will cover your vehicle's repair costs regardless of who's at fault – you, another driver, or even if the at-fault party fled the scene.

2. Criminal Acts by Third Parties:

Theft or attempted theft, parts theft (wheels, mirrors, headlights), vandalism (scratches, broken glass), arson.

3. Natural Disasters:

Hail, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, falling trees – CASCO protects your vehicle from nature's whims.

4. Other Events:

Falling objects (icicles, construction materials), fire, non-criminal explosions, damage during towing.

CASCO vs CTPL: Key Differences

To better understand the difference, let's compare CASCO and CTPL coverage:

Insurance Case Liability Insurance Comprehensive (CASCO)
Damage to your car in an at-fault accident Not covered Covered
Damage to your car when other party is at fault Covered (through at-fault party's insurance) Covered
Damage to your car, at-fault party fled Not covered Covered
Vehicle theft Not covered Covered
Natural disaster damage Not covered Covered
Vandalism damage Not covered Covered

As you can see, what CASCO covers is significantly broader than CTPL coverage. This provides truly comprehensive protection for your property.

Real-Life Example

Imagine: you parked your car at a shopping center, and when you returned, you found a scratch on the door. No culprit in sight. With a CTPL policy, you'd have to repair the door at your own expense. With a CASCO policy – the insurance company pays for the repair.

Conclusion

Comprehensive protection against most possible risks is CASCO's key advantage. This policy gives you confidence that unexpected situations won't deal a serious blow to your budget.
