&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ecuador has two levels of vehicle insurance: mandatory basic insurance (SOAT) and optional comprehensive coverage (todo riesgo). If you own or drive a vehicle in Ecuador, understanding both is important.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== SOAT — Mandatory Insurance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito (SOAT)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is compulsory for all vehicles in Ecuador. It covers personal injury costs (medical, disability, death) for victims of traffic accidents, regardless of fault. It does NOT cover vehicle damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Purchased from any bank branch or authorized insurance outlet&lt;br /&gt;
* Required for annual vehicle inspection (revisión vehicular) and matrícula renewal&lt;br /&gt;
* Cost: approximately $40–$80/year for private cars; motorcycles are less; buses more&lt;br /&gt;
* Without valid SOAT, driving is illegal and police can impound the vehicle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{EW dyk|emoji=🚑|…911 is the one number for police, ambulance and fire anywhere in Ecuador?|page=Emergency Contacts|cta=Save the numbers →}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Comprehensive Insurance (Todo Riesgo) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optional comprehensive insurance covers:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Collision damage to your own vehicle&lt;br /&gt;
* Theft of the vehicle&lt;br /&gt;
* Third-party property damage&lt;br /&gt;
* Glass, tires, and accessories (varies by policy)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annual premiums typically range from 2–4% of the vehicle&amp;#039;s insured value. A $15,000 car might cost $300–$600/year to insure comprehensively. Premiums vary by driver history, vehicle age, and coverage level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Major insurers operating in Ecuador include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Seguros Sucre&lt;br /&gt;
* Seguros Equinoccial&lt;br /&gt;
* Mapfre Ecuador&lt;br /&gt;
* AIG Ecuador&lt;br /&gt;
* Chubb Ecuador&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An insurance broker (corredor de seguros) can compare quotes across providers — recommended for new buyers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Third-Party Liability (Responsabilidad Civil) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond SOAT, additional third-party liability coverage (for damage you cause to other vehicles or property) is available as an add-on or within a todo riesgo policy. Recommended if driving frequently on busy roads.&lt;br /&gt;
