Why get car insurance in Belgium?

Car insurance is legally required in Belgium. Without it, you cannot drive or register your car.

But beyond that: it protects you financially when things go wrong.

Car insurance is mandatory in Belgium

Before you can register your vehicle with the DIV (Vehicle Registration Service), you must have valid third-party liability insurance. Without proof of insurance, you cannot legally drive.
