It has become easier to take out Mini Hull insurance: the list of cars that can be insured has been expanded. Even against military risks!
In 2025, it became much easier to purchase Mini-Hull insurance, and the number of motorists who can protect their cars has increased. Visit Ukraine has updated its insurance terms and conditions. Find out what advantages the updated Mini-Hull insurance offers and how to quickly purchase insurance online
Car insurance in Ukraine continues to adapt to the realities of wartime. Whereas previously owners of cars older than 10 years had to look for alternative protection options, the requirements have now become much more favourable. Visit Ukraine has updated the terms of its Mini-Hull insurance: now insurance can be taken out for cars up to 15 years old, which opens up access to protection for thousands of car owners across the country.
This is especially important in the context of ongoing military threats. Mini-Hull insurance remains the optimal format for those who want to protect their car but are not ready to overpay for a full HULL package.
What is Mini-HULL and what are its advantages?
Mini-Hull insurance is voluntary car insurance that provides basic but effective protection against the most common risks. It covers key insurance events, while the cost of the policy remains affordable.
The main advantages of Mini-Hull insurance:
▪️ lower price compared to full HULL;
▪️ coverage of military risks (depending on the package);
▪️ suitable for cars with Ukrainian and foreign registration;
▪️ fully online registration;
▪️ validity period — from 1 month to 1 year;
▪️ possibility for foreigners entering Ukraine or already residing here to purchase a policy (except for citizens of the Russian Federation, Belarus, Iran and North Korea).
Thanks to the updated terms and conditions, insurance is available for cars up to 15 years old, making the service one of the most flexible on the market.

What Mini-HULL packages are available on Visit Ukraine?
On the Visit Ukraine platform, you can choose one of three ready-made packages, which differ in terms of coverage and cost. Each customer can choose the option that suits their needs — from minimum protection to a comprehensive package with military risks.
Economy — compensation for damages in the event of an accident involving another car. This package is a good choice for those who want basic protection in the event of a classic road accident.
Basic — coverage of damages in the event of an accident with other vehicles. Compensation for the complete destruction of a car due to natural disasters. Suitable for those who want to strengthen their protection, taking into account current climatic risks (storms, hurricanes, hail, falling trees, etc.).
Maximum + military risks - The most comprehensive and popular package. Includes:
- everything from the Economy and Basic packages;
- protection against passive risks of war (blast wave, debris, fire, secondary damage);
- coverage of tow truck services.
Previously, only owners of cars less than 10 years old could purchase Mini-Hull insurance, which limited access to protection for a significant portion of the vehicle fleet. Now the limit has been extended to 15 years, making the service available for middle-aged and older cars that are actively used in Ukraine.
In addition, the policy can be purchased entirely online — without queues, phone calls or visits to offices. Just click the ‘TAKE OUT INSURANCE’ button and insure your car in a matter of minutes.
Reminder! All citizens, including foreigners, must insure their cars in Ukraine. Find out which insurance provides basic protection against risks and helps to avoid significant financial losses in case of unforeseen situations, and how foreigners can purchase it.
