Pre-contract details of MTPL insurance for the client

What you need to know before concluding a contract

MTPL is mandatory for every vehicle registered in Estonia. This is used to compensate for the losses of the injured party. In Estonia, a paper copy of the MTPL insurance policy does not have to be carried.

NB! To conclude a contract, your name must be stated on the car registration certificate as the owner, responsible user or user of the car. To sign a contract on behalf of a business customer, your name must be listed on the company's B card.

Motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) helps:

  • when a person is injured, a vehicle is damaged or proprietary damage is caused due to the movement of a vehicle on the road or it driving off the road
  • in the case of personal damage, to compensate, e.g. rehabilitation treatment, lack of capacity for work or non-monetary damage
  • when an accident happens during boarding or disembarking a ferry offering a regular service

ERGO Liiklus+ ensures a free towing service to passenger vehicles (M1), delivery vans (N1) and motorcycles throughout Europe by calling the ERGO roadside assistance line (+372 655 5401).

In the case of a traffic accident, we will take your private car or motorcycle to a repair shop or a repository nearest to the scene for free

A detailed overview of the types of insurance cover has been provided in the terms and conditions of MTPL insurance. See also the Motor Insurance Act.

MTPL insurance does not help:

  • when an accident happens in a location that is closed off and secluded for a competition, training or other similar event;
  • in an area used for regular traffic, when it is closed to the general traffic (e.g. road construction);
  • if the vehicle that caused the damage is used for forestry, field or construction works or other similar purposes and the damage has been caused directly during the work.

Term of the contract

MTPL insurance is always concluded with a fixed term. The policyholder can select the insurance period themselves. When selecting one year as the insurance period, your contract is updated automatically. If the period is less than one year, the contract is not renewed automatically.
