“Concluding insurance contracts is becoming easier and more convenient. There has also been an increase in people’s awareness of various risks and ways to reduce them. As a result, insurance has become more popular.

According to Piibor, the cost of Casco insurance has been affected by the increase in the cost of spare parts and repair work. Comparing April of the last year with this April, the total amount of Casco payments has increased by 26%. According to Coop Pank’s statistics, the average annual cost of Casco insurance is now 580 euros, or slightly less than 50 euros per month.

Casco insurance policy can be concluded for one year and up to 60 days before the start of the insurance period.
