Does OSAGO work in Abkhazia?

No, the Russian OSAGO policy does not work in Abkhazia. This is one of the most important rules for motorists planning a trip. For legal movement on the territory of the republic, you need to obtain a local temporary compulsory motor third party liability insurance policy.

You can do this in two ways:

1. In advance online on the website strahovanie-abkhazia.ru.
2. On the spot immediately after crossing the border at the Psou checkpoint (points work around the clock).

The cost of the policy for a passenger car is fixed: from 1000 rubles for 15 days. For lack of insurance, a fine of 600 rubles is provided.
