SOAT 2026 in Cartagena: what it costs

Colombia's compulsory traffic accident insurance. Official 2026 rates, with the source so you can check them.

The first thing to know

This is a MAXIMUM rate: no insurer may charge above it. The total already includes the ADRES contribution and the RUNT fee.

The SOAT doesn't check your car. We do

The insurance covers people injured in a crash, not the condition of the vehicle. If it's been a while since you looked at fluids, brakes, lights or tyres, we come to wherever the car is and check it.
