VEHICLE REGISTRATION IN SLOVAKIA

Vehicle registration in Slovakia

According to the Civil Code, the guarantee about the used vehicle is required and depends on the agreement

between the seller and the buyer but it cannot be less than 12 months. All vehicles registered in Slovakia must

be covered by a liability insurance policy that is valid in Slovakia. Collision /comprehensive insurance is optional.

An entrepreneur needs also the Trade License for the car registration.

In Slovakia, there are two ways of insuring a car. It is possible to choose between the mandatory contractual

insurance called PZP and the voluntary collision insurance called CASCO. The Basic difference between PZP and

CASCO lies in their functions. While the mandatory contractual insurance (PZP) has to protect assets and health

of others damaged by owner of car insurance, the collision insurance (CASCO) has to protect his/her own assets

and health. The car owner can choose between different insurance companies. For more information:
