Glossary

havarijní pojištění

Pronounced ha-va-riy-nyee po-yish-tyen-yee

In one line

Optional comprehensive motor insurance.

Where you meet it

Dealers and lenders often bundle it, and it is frequently required with a financed or leased car.

The fuller explanation

Unlike povinné ručení it is voluntary and covers damage to your own vehicle, including theft and accidents you cause. Cover, excess and exclusions vary a lot between insurers, so compare the policy wording rather than only the price.
