While Germany is probably more like the UK when it comes to driving and car insurance, you have to have proof of third party liability before you can buy and register a vehicle. This type of auto insurance covers any damage caused to another driver, their vehicle and their property. German auto insurance like much European auto insurance is very expensive compared to the United States – good to know if you plan to drive abroad make sure that you have sufficient international cover before you set off. In Germany the risk of road accidents is higher than it is in America, largely because the country is smaller and there are, comparatively, more cars on the available road space. In Europe generally and in Germany in particular, insurance premiums for younger drivers is a lot higher than for older, more experienced drivers. Statistics tend to show that in countries like Germany, England and some other European states, the accident rate is far higher among younger drivers. There are other insurance differentials based on the size of your automobile and whether you live in a rural or a densely populated urban area, however, German auto insurance premiums are tax deductible. If you live in America or in many other countries other than Germany, but want to drive your vehicle through Germany and your driving record is good in your country of origin you may claim credit for it when driving there, providing your home insurer provides the evidence. In Germany, the only auto insurance that is required by law is third party fire and theft. If you are planning on renting a vehicle and driving in Germany however, your insurance provider would probably advise you to take out extra, temporary insurance to cover your stay. Third party will not replace a wrecked rental vehicle and you could find yourself liable for the cost, which would be far higher than the insurance premium.
