Pohjola Car Insurance – Cover tailored for your car
Pohjola Car Insurance offers excellent cover for your passenger car. Car insurance policies always include mandatory motor liability insurance. In the event of an accident, motor liability insurance covers all personal injuries and any property damage to the innocent party.
At its best, car insurance also includes voluntary comprehensive motor vehicle insurance. Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance covers loss and damage, such as vandalism, windscreen damage and collision damage, based on the types of cover you have chosen to include in your insurance policy.
Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance options for Pohjola Motor Vehicle Insurance include Medium Motor Insurance, Standard Motor Insurance and the most comprehensive Super Motor Insurance.
How is the price of motor vehicle insurance determined?
The price of motor vehicle insurance is based on the vehicle’s properties, including make, engine power, weight and age. The selected coverage, estimated kilometres driven and the policyholder’s details, such as earned motor vehicle insurance no-claims bonus, also affect the price. Your motor vehicle insurance premium is also influenced by the deductible you choose and possible discounts to which you are entitled.
To get a recommendation and price for insurance that suits your car, enter your car’s registration number in the calculator at the top of the page.
Can I get a discount on motor vehicle insurance?
As a Pohjola Insurance prime customer, you get a 7% discount on comprehensive motor vehicle insurance with a no-claims bonus. If you are also an OP cooperative bank owner-customer, you get an extra 3% discount on comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for a total discount of nearly 10%.
Can I use OP bonuses to pay motor vehicle insurance premiums?
As an OP cooperative bank owner-customer, you earn OP bonuses from your monthly transactions. The bonuses are automatically used to pay insurance premiums. As an owner-customer, you will get OP bonuses 40% more than normal in 2024. For example, a home loan of 100,000 euros earns you 350 euros in OP bonuses in one year.
Thanks to OP bonuses, your annual motor vehicle insurance premium can be very low: after your OP bonuses have been deducted from you motor vehicle insurance bill, you will have less to pay.
Should I get the cheapest car insurance?
The price of your car insurance is based partly on the cover you have chosen to include in your insurance policy. The more comprehensive the cover, the more expensive your auto insurance. The motor vehicle insurance price calculator lets you instantly check the insurance premium for your car. You can easily compare the cover of the various types of comprehensive motor vehicle insurance to see how the cheapest price can affect the cover provided by the insurance.
However, a cheap car insurance may be surprisingly expensive when a loss event occurs, if it does not cover the loss or damage in question. In such case, you may end up paying a high price for your cheap insurance policy.
For example, if the car you use daily is damaged, finding and paying for a replacement car out of pocket may be time-consuming and costly. Cheap car insurance policies also rarely compensate for damage caused by an unknown party by scratching or bumping into your parked car.
In reality, the cheapest car insurance is one that actually helps when you need it. When taking out car insurance and comparing the price of different insurance policies, it is worth considering the total costs that a loss or damage might cause you. In the event of a loss, the cheapest car insurance is not necessarily cheap at all.

Insuring your car with Super Motor Insurance - the best cover for your car
If you want to ensure the best possible insurance cover and stay on the road whatever happens, we recommend Super Motor Insurance. Super Motor Insurance is a motor vehicle insurance that you can tailor to your needs with the following four types of optional cover:
1. Consequential Loss Cover
With Consequential Loss Cover, we will deliver a replacement car to the scene of loss, if necessary. Thanks to the replacement car, you can continue your life normally while your own car is being repaired.
2. Parking Cover
Parking Cover covers dents caused by an unknown party in a car park.
3. Windscreen Cover
With Windscreen Cover, your car’s broken windscreen or windows are replaced with no loss of no-claims bonus. If the windscreen or window is repaired, you pay no deductible. Windscreen Cover is also available as an option in other comprehensive motor vehicle insurance policies for passenger cars.
4. Super Salvage
Super Salvage offers a higher redemption amount, giving you a better price if your car is redeemed. There are two salvage options: redemption at replacement value or redemption at current value plus an increase of up to 30%.
The amount we pay for redemption at replacement value is the cash sales price of a new similar vehicle at the time of the loss or when the vehicle was last for sale. If the conditions for redemption at replacement value are not met, we can redeem the car at its current value before the accident plus an increase of up to 30%. For detailed information on salvage cover and the terms, see the insurance terms and conditions for comprehensive motor vehicle insurance at the bottom of this page.
What kind of motor vehicle insurance suits me?
Each passenger car to be used in traffic requires a statutory motor liability insurance, which can be supplemented by a comprehensive motor vehicle insurance that suits you and your car.

We recommend you to take out Super Motor Insurance, if:
- Your car is new or relatively new or 15 years old at most

We recommend Medium Motor Insurance, if:
- Your car is 25 years old at most
- Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance with basic cover, which secures you against animal collisions and theft, for example, is sufficient for you

The motor vehicle insurance bonus is formed by combining the motor liability insurance bonus with the comprehensive motor vehicle insurance collision cover no-claims bonus. Motor liability insurance bonus is based on your personal insurance and claims history, which takes into account how long you have had vehicles insured under your name, as well as whether any insurance claims have been made for the vehicles.
A passenger car's motor liability insurance bonus will increase more quickly than previously, and decrease more moderately if an accident occurs. The motor liability insurance starting bonus is at least 40%, with 80% the maximum. Bonus percentages you have achieved can also be used for any other car you have.
You will always receive a full initial bonus of 70% for the collision cover of your comprehensive motor vehicle insurance. A claim compensated under Collision Cover will decrease the collision cover bonus by 10 percentage points. Claims filed for losses due to storm or hail, for example, will not reduce your bonus. After insurance periods with no claims, the bonus will increase by 10% a year. For more information on how motor vehicle insurance bonus is earned, see the motor vehicle insurance product guide.
Insurance and claims history certificate
If you need you a certificate of your vehicles’ insurance and claims history, you can order it from the Finnish Motor Insurers' Centre. You can prove your claims history to a foreign insurance company.
