Does Compulsory Traffic Insurance Transfer with the Vehicle Ownership?
1 Answers
If the compulsory traffic insurance purchased by the original vehicle owner follows the vehicle, the insurance will transfer to the new owner upon the vehicle's ownership transfer. If the compulsory traffic insurance does not follow the vehicle, the owners need to go to the insurance company to complete the insurance transfer procedures. The owner needs to prepare the vehicle's registration book, the new owner's driving license, copies of the new and old owners' ID cards, the invoice from the used car transaction, and the amendment application form provided by the insurance company to complete the transfer of compulsory traffic insurance. Important Notes Once a used car is purchased, promptly complete the transfer procedures for compulsory traffic insurance and other insurances. Otherwise, in the event of an accident, the beneficiary will be the original owner, and the new owner will not receive compensation. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) within the liability limits caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, primarily influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without deductibles or exemptions.
