Compulsory Motor Third-Party Liability Insurance (OSAGO) is a vital element of road safety in Uzbekistan. However, many drivers—especially beginners—make mistakes when applying for a car insurance policy that can lead to serious consequences. Let’s look at the 7 most common mistakes when applying for OSAGO and how to avoid them.
One of the most common and dangerous mistakes is entering incorrect information when filling out the OSAGO application. Typos in the license plate number, VIN, passport details, or driver’s license can render the policy invalid.
How to avoid it: Carefully check all the details before submitting the application, especially if you’re applying online. After receiving the policy, double-check the information once more. If you spot an error, immediately contact the insurance company to correct it.
Many car owners forget to renew their insurance on time, resulting in a period when the vehicle is used without valid OSAGO coverage. This is not only illegal (and subject to fines) but also a major financial risk in the event of an accident.
How to avoid it: Set a reminder in your calendar 2–3 weeks before the policy expires. Many insurance companies also send SMS notifications. Today, you can renew OSAGO online in just a few minutes from the comfort of your home.
Not all insurance companies are equally trustworthy. Some may delay payments or make it difficult to process claims.
How to avoid it: Before buying a policy, research the top-rated insurance companies in Uzbekistan. Pay close attention to customer reviews, especially regarding claim processing speed and service quality. Choose companies with a solid reputation and long-standing presence in the market.
Purchasing OSAGO from unverified agents or at unofficial points near traffic police offices can result in getting a fake or invalid policy.
How to avoid it: It’s best to buy auto insurance online from the official website of the insurance company or trusted aggregators. If you prefer in-person service, visit only official insurance offices. After purchase, verify the authenticity of your policy via official services (e.g., ersp.e-osgo.uz).
Some owners try to save money by listing only experienced drivers on the policy, even though the vehicle is also driven by younger or less experienced family members.
How to avoid it: Always include all individuals who will drive the vehicle. If the list of drivers may change, consider choosing the “unlimited driver” option (although it costs more). Remember, if an accident occurs and the driver is not listed on the policy, the insurance company may legally deny payment.
Many drivers don’t read the OSAGO contract thoroughly, especially the fine print, where important exclusions and limitations may be hidden.
How to avoid it: Read the entire contract carefully before signing. If something is unclear, don’t hesitate to ask the insurance representative. Pay close attention to sections about coverage exclusions and procedures to follow in the event of an accident.
During the policy period, your personal information may change: last name, address, driver’s license number, or even the car’s license plate. Not reporting these changes can create problems if you need to file a claim.
How to avoid it: Notify your insurance company promptly about any changes in the documents or data listed in the OSAGO policy. Most updates can be made remotely via the insurer’s website or by phone.
Auto insurance is not just a formality—it’s an essential financial safeguard. By avoiding these common mistakes, you ensure reliable protection and peace of mind on the road. Remember, a good OSAGO policy isn’t the cheapest one, but the one that truly protects you when it matters.
If you’re new to the world of car insurance in Tashkent or elsewhere in Uzbekistan, don’t hesitate to consult professionals. A properly issued OSAGO policy means financial security and confidence while driving.
