What happened
Car insurance prices in Israel have dropped by about 20% since mid-2025, mainly due to lower spare parts costs, reduced driving, and fewer car thefts. The decrease is most notable in comprehensive insurance, with some popular car models seeing nearly 30% price cuts. However, mandatory liability insurance rose slightly, and not all drivers will benefit equally from the reductions.
