Most Juarenses do not have car insurance – El Heraldo de Juárez

“I do not have the exact data in hand at the moment, but we estimate that the number of drivers who do have their vehicle insurance contracted does not even reach 15 percent, at least that of damage to third parties,” said Antonio Andreu, insurance representative, who emphasizes that this document is essential for all vehicles.

“A few years ago the vast majority of drivers had their insurance but now the lack of this document is more and more constant. Citizens have been gradually forgetting to buy it and the truth is that it is very necessary. It takes you out of a lot of trouble in case of any accident”, added Andreu.

According to data provided by the Road Safety area, the cost of a violation due to lack of insurance is calculated between 35 to 37 umas, which is equivalent in pesos to a total of 3,360 since the cost of each uma is 96 pesos.

“The truth is that many people think that insurance is very expensive, but right now you’re paying 20 or 30 thousand pesos for any small crash and the truth is that insurance costs you a third of that. It’s preferable to have it and avoid problems in case of any mishap”, said the interviewee.

“According to the latest data we received, there was talk of a vehicle fleet of 750,000 cars in this city and we are calculating that only between 10 and 15 percent have insurance. These are data that I am giving you from memory, but it is the closest thing to reality. It is urgent that people become aware again and buy their insurance, “concluded the insurance agent.
