Mandatory motor third party liability insurance (usual VW Golf or similar) - cca 100 - 150 € / year
Optional Motor damage insurance (accident, natural disasters, theft,...) - cca 400 - 600 € / year
Annual taxes for car "road tax" - only for entrepreneurs/companies - usual 3 years old car 2000ccm - cca 100 - 150 € / year
