In Yandex Maps and Navigator, it is now possible to take out short-term CASCO insurance for the duration of the trip with payment per hour or a fixed price for a longer period. Drivers can activate insurance only when needed, making it available every time they use the navigation service. The offer is the first in Russia to offer hourly insurance.
Studies have shown that it is important for drivers to insure their car at the time of planning a trip. They can not only plot a route, but also pay for refueling and parking, as well as immediately insure the car for the duration of the trip.
The cost of a CASCO policy in Yandex Maps and Navigator starts from 40 rubles per hour. You can connect it directly in the navigator by clicking on the button with the Yandex Care logo on the main screen. After clicking, the user will be taken to the insurance section, where it is enough to enter the car number and make - no additional documents are needed.
Insurance is suitable for passenger cars of category B no older than 15 years with Russian non-transit numbers, owned by individuals and used for personal purposes. The policy covers damage to the car from an accident, illegal actions of third parties and natural disasters, with payments up to 1,500,000 rubles for repairs and for all passengers in an accident.
Insurance is especially useful for trips out of town or to an unfamiliar region, during bad weather conditions or during rush hour. It is also relevant for those who rarely drive or transfer the car to another driver.
In addition, Yandex noted that CASCO can be issued not only for the duration of the trip, but also for a longer period. Flexible tariffs are available: for three days, a week, several weeks or a month. This is especially true for trips out of town in bad weather or during rush hour. The ease of connection and the variety of tariffs can help people who have not previously used insurance due to the high cost and complexity of the registration process.
In August 2025, Yandex also launched the Yandex Care insurance service, which offers a variety of insurance products. Users can take out insurance at the time of ordering a service or making a purchase in Yandex services.
The service works in collaboration with various insurance companies. Registration and receipt of compensation takes place online, without additional intermediaries.
