All in this category of private cars must be saloons, sedans, hatchbacks, or station wagons. They are not allowed to be pickup trucks or any other kind of trucks, or vans. Annual insurance costs Insurance coverage, from a licensed local insurance company, is mandatory. Without current coverage, a private car will not be licensed or re-licensed. Annual coverage must be for at least Third party liability.
Comprehensive coverage is required for people still paying for their vehicles.
Annual inspection procedure All private cars must undergo and pass a rigorous annual inspection to qualify for annual registration and annual licensing. Only brand new private cars, after their initial inspection prior to registration and licensing, need not be inspected the next year. Owners or co-owners must bring in the vehicles for the inspection process. Inspections take place at the Bermuda Government's Transport Control Department premises by prior appointment. Inspectors check safety features and paint work carefully.
