Is German Car Insurance Expensive?
Car insurance in Germany is typically more expensive than other countries due to a few factors including the cost of repairs, strict liability laws, and Germany’s “no-fault” system, meaning regardless of who is at fault for an accident, the driver is responsible for taking care of injuries and damage to others and their property. This system was designed to quickly resolve problems related to accidents.
There are also individual circumstances that can affect the cost of car insurance in Germany, including:
- Vehicle type. Luxury cars generally have higher insurance costs.
- Driver’s age. Younger drivers may be subject to higher rates.
- Driver’s history. Accidents or traffic violations on a driver’s history may increase rates.
- Coverage level. A driver will pay less for minimum third-party liability coverage but more for higher levels of coverage, such as comprehensive. The trade off is that higher rates associated with comprehensive ensure damage to the policy holder’s vehicle is covered.
- Vehicle location. Urban settings typically have higher insurance rates than rural areas.
- Annual mileage. Rates increase with the amount driven and conversely will go down the less you drive. Some insurers offer an occasional driver discount if the annual mileage does not exceed a certain amount.
