Car Insurance
Car insurance is a compulsory third party liability insurance. When registering your car in
Austria, proof of insurance coverage needs to be provided. Accident-free drivers may be
rewarded by a steady reduction of their premiums if no claims are made. Comprehensive
cover and roadside insurance may also be included.
Life Insurance
Life insurance policies pay tax-free or tax-reduced death benefits to surviving family
members or other beneficiaries. They can be fund-based and/or offer benefits in case of
critical illnesses. Other complementary polices such as private disability insurance may be
included.
Vaccinations
There are no mandatory vaccinations in Austria. However, the usually recommended
vaccinations for adults are the following: tetanus, diphtheria, polio and whooping cough.
These are only general recommendations and are not specific for your individual case. For
children, there are some more vaccinations recommended. Please ask your general
practitioner or pediatrician.
