Motor Vehicle Insurance(自動車保険)

更新日:2023年03月25日

If you cause an accident, you will have to pay a large amount of money to the other party involved, including repair expenses, medical treatment costs, compensation money, etc. For this reason, you should be sure to enroll in insurance.

Mandatory Vehicle Liability Insurance(自賠責保険)

Enrollment in this insurance is mandated by law for all vehicle owners, including owners of motorbikes.
If you drive a vehicle without this insurance, you will be subject to imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 500,000 yen, and your license will be revoked.
For more details, please contact a non-life insurance agency.

Voluntary Insurance(任意保険)

If the amount of compensation exceeds that covered by the mandatory vehicle liability insurance, this insurance covers the excess amount.
※ If in an accident you injure someone or kill someone, you will not be able to cover the compensation just with mandatory vehicle liability insurance. You should enroll in voluntary insurance too.
