The Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance Agreement (MTPL) solves the problem of material compensation in the event of an accident with subsequent mechanical damage to the car or injuries to a pedestrian. Most car enthusiasts have many questions when planning to purchase MTPL via the Internet. And due to numerous frauds of various insurance companies, people began to more often apply for a compulsory auto insurance contract to the so-called Russian Union of Auto Insurers (hereinafter referred to as RSA).
The advantage of purchasing an MTPL policy through RSA

Every year the number of citizens filling out and submitting applications online , which is due to the desire to save time by not standing in long lines. Among the positive aspects, it is also necessary to note the volume of the insurance system, which covers and unites a large number of companies into a single database, thereby expanding the ability to search for the necessary information from any device with access to the Internet. This method also provides the advantage of being able to compare the amount of policies of different companies with each other.

The region where the driver is registered plays an important role and is taken into account when calculating the cost of the contract. In those areas where, according to statistics, the most traffic accidents occur, the coefficient will be higher.
Comparison of the cost of compulsory motor liability insurance among various insurers
Due to recent changes in legislation (amendment in the Federal Law of 2021 “On Compulsory Insurance”), there has been an increase in the price range for various insurance organizations. Thanks to this, citizens can observe a significant difference in the cost of compulsory motor insurance.
A popular way to compare the monetary value of a contract is to use a website that requires you to enter information about the driver and his vehicle in order to obtain a result in the form of a list of different companies.
What is RSA?
This is a non-profit association, membership in which is mandatory for insurers involved in the sale of MTPL policies. Its functions are to organize interaction and ensure control of insurance companies. And also in ensuring vehicle maintenance.
Based on the above definition, RCA does not engage in any form of insurance .
On the official website of the union, legal and useful information is available to help you check the credentials of the insurer with whom you want to enter into an agreement, determine the authenticity of insurance, technical inspection certificates, calculate the cost of spare parts for repairs, find out your KBM and other information. In addition, this organization maintains a single database containing all information about insured vehicles, their owners and drivers authorized to drive these vehicles.

Redirection through the RSA website to a replacement insurer
Drivers who frequently get into traffic accidents develop a bad reputation for themselves, which is why the company they have chosen may refuse to provide this service and refer them to the RSA website. The Union, according to the law, is obliged to provide the opportunity to register a document, where the system automatically finds other options for organizations.
The reason for redirection to the Union website may be the lack of free numbers , which, alas, will not appear. Such cases occur infrequently, but do not forget that each organization is allocated a certain number.
Redirection can also occur if the site is updated or crashes . If a citizen is in a limited time frame, then the conclusion of an agreement can also be carried out through the RSA website. Sometimes, situations arise when it is fundamentally necessary to issue a document through an organization; in this case, the only solution is to wait until the site malfunction is corrected.
Let's sum it up
Today, the problem of obtaining an MTPL policy has ceased to be acute thanks to the introduction of an electronic registration system. People no longer need to leave home and stand in line to sign a contract. In addition, you can track the status of the application and the readiness of the document using a smartphone or other types of technology capable of searching for information by navigating Internet sites. For some citizens, the absence of imposition of unnecessary services by the organization’s employees will also be a plus.
Page “To help the policyholder” and a reminder for car owners on the RSA website
For the policyholders themselves (i.e., persons who have entered into an insurance contract), the portal page “To help the policyholder” will be especially necessary. Here is all the information that could potentially be necessary for users who have entered into a MTPL contract:
- A memo with basic recommendations for car owners;
- List of useful sources and links to them;
- Typical examples of registration of road accidents with and without the use of the Europrotocol;
- Answers to frequently asked questions, as well as a lexicon of terms and definitions.
This page contains local, but very informative and useful options for behavior in case of an accident, taking into account various options for risk insurance. There are also instructions here to avoid fraud when purchasing an MTPL policy.
