The mandatory insurance in Germany is the Kfz-Haftpflichtversicherung (third-party liability insurance). It covers personal injury, property damage, and financial losses that you cause to other parties with your vehicle.
Teilkasko (partial comprehensive) covers specific risks such as theft, fire, natural disasters, glass breakage, and collisions with wildlife. Vollkasko (full comprehensive) includes all Teilkasko benefits plus damages to your own vehicle even if you caused the accident, or if your vehicle is damaged by vandalism.
The Green Card is an international insurance certificate that proves you have valid third-party liability insurance. It is required when driving in certain countries outside the EU/EEA, ensuring your vehicle is insured according to the laws of the country you are visiting.
Driving without the mandatory Kfz-Haftpflichtversicherung in Germany is a serious criminal offense. Consequences can include heavy fines, points on your license, potential imprisonment, impoundment of your vehicle, and you will be personally liable for all damages caused in an accident.
No, the Kfz-Haftpflichtversicherung only covers damages you cause to other parties. Damage to your own vehicle, especially if you are at fault, requires a Kaskoversicherung (either Teilkasko or Vollkasko, depending on the cause of damage) to be covered.
In Germany, the no-claims bonus (Schadenfreiheitsrabatt or SF class) system reduces your insurance premium with each year you drive without making a claim. If you cause an accident, your SF class will be downgraded, leading to higher premiums in the following years.
By completing German Insurance Basics, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
