According to the news of Uğurcan Biçer from OdaTV, The increase in inflation caused an increase in automobile insurance prices as well as compulsory traffic insurance.
Erol Şahin, General Manager of EBS Consulting Company, explained the reasons for the increase.
Erol Şahin said:
It has to be completely compared to inflation. In our country, inflation is officially 80 percent. When calculated through other channels, it is over 160 percent. We should not ignore the increase in costs. Today, the price of the front bumper of a vehicle has changed from 10 lira to 40 lira. Access to motor insurance and insurance became more difficult.
CITIZEN’S POWER IS NOT ENOUGH
At the beginning of August, the regulation on the increase in insurance figures was published. According to these figures, insurance prices will increase by 20 percent as of September 1. Subsequently, it will continue with an increase of 4% every month. The annual increase was expected to exceed one hundred percent. Traffic insurance is mandatory. Citizens cannot do this. Although mandatory. Citizens can’t afford it.
On the other hand, insurance is what everyone complains about. In our country, after the citizen finishes the loan period, after passing the age of 3, they stop having a motor insurance policy.
While there are 25 million vehicle users in our country, the rate of automobile insurance is 4 million.
20 of the 100 vehicles traveling on our roads do not have traffic insurance. This is an interesting and painful situation.
NEXT YEAR MAY INCREASE TWICE
While the purchasing power has decreased so much, although the salaries seem to have increased, they have disappeared in the face of inflation.
As long as inflation is at this level, it will increase day by day.
Next year, these numbers will perhaps double.
At the beginning of 2021, the number of uninsured vehicles was 10 percent. Today, it has reached 20 percent.
We see that the increase in insurance prices and the increase in automobile insurance will not be enough for the citizens.
The 20 percent rate can go up to 30 percent, and it’s critical.
One out of every five vehicles does not have insurance.
If we look at the figures for 6 months, the increase in automobiles is 122 percent. It also varies according to the vehicle type. In insurance, the figures are based on percent. The situation is not encouraging for the future either”
