Abkhazia has introduced compulsory insurance for cars arriving in the territory of the republic from other countries – an analogue of the Russian OSAGO. Now any local traffic cop can fine the driver of a car with foreign numbers of 600 rubles if he does not have a policy with him. The fine threatens not only drivers of Russian military vehicles, as well as representatives of the diplomatic corps.All other motorists entering Abkhazia must purchase a policy when crossing the Russian-Abkhaz border, as well as at the traffic police posts of Bzyb and Primorskoye.

Insurance is sold by three local state-owned companies: Garant-Strakhovanie, the Abkhazia National Insurance Company and the Abchazgosstrakh Insurance Company. The price of a policy for a period of three days is fixed for each vehicle at the level of 500 rubles, for 15 days – 1000 rubles, and for a year – 8500 rubles. Payment to the victim in the event of an accident – within 120,000 rubles. At the moment, it is only possible to conclude an insurance contract with a personal visit to the point of sale – from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. This complicates the lives of motorists entering Abkhazia at night. However, local authorities promise to organize online sales of policies from June 16.
