When you buy a car, new or used, you are requested to purchase a compulsory insurance that is required by the Japanese law. However, a compulsory insurance does not provide the full coverage in the case of an accident. Almost all drivers in Japan purchase a voluntary insurance in addition to a compulsory insurance. We strongly recommend foreigners who drive in Japan to do the same.

Automobile insurance is underwritten by ACE Insurance with more than 90 years of combined experience in the property and casualty insurance.
