Machinery insurance

combines, tractors, special equipment — coverage and cost

What it covers

  • Machinery CASCO: damage, theft, fire, overturn — 2–5% of value per year
  • Registration liability: mandatory liability policy for special equipment registration
  • Weather & war risks: hail, drought for field machinery; war as separate rider
  • Breakdown: mechanical failures — rarely covered, usually a separate contract

How the tariff is set

  • Machine value: sum insured = market price, not new-price
  • Age & wear: 10+ year machines — higher tariff or refusal
  • Seasonality: combines work 2 months — seasonal policies 30–40% cheaper
  • Deductible: 1–5% of sum cuts the tariff by 15–30%

Claim documents

  • Inspection report: photos of damage and site, within 3 days
  • Registration docs: machine passport, lease agreement if any
  • Police/SES: certificate for theft or fire — mandatory
  • Repair estimate: from dealer or service — proves the loss amount
