CASCO (Comprehensive Automobile Third-Party Liability Insurance) is a mandatory car insurance policy in many countries that covers damages to other vehicles and property caused by your car. This calculator helps you estimate your CASCO premium based on key factors.

What is CASCO insurance?

CASCO insurance is a type of car insurance that provides coverage for damages to other vehicles and property caused by your car. It's typically mandatory in many countries and is often combined with other insurance policies.

CASCO stands for "Comprehensive Automobile Third-Party Liability Insurance" and is sometimes referred to as "third-party liability insurance" or "TPL insurance."

The main components of CASCO insurance include:

  • Third-party liability: Covers damages to other people's property and injuries to others
  • Comprehensive coverage: Protects against damage to your own vehicle
  • Collision coverage: Covers damage to your vehicle in accidents

How CASCO insurance works

When you're involved in an accident, your CASCO insurance policy comes into effect. Here's how it typically works:

  1. You report the accident to your insurance company
  2. The insurance company assesses the damage and liability
  3. If you're at fault, your policy covers the other party's damages
  4. If you're not at fault, the other party's insurance covers your damages
  5. The insurance company handles all communications and claims processing
CASCO Premium = Base Rate × Coverage Amount × Risk Factors

The base rate is determined by your insurance company, while coverage amounts and risk factors are factors you can influence.
