Pronunciation

'Polizza' = POH-leets-tsah — stress the first syllable; double 'z' makes a 'ts' sound.

When to use it

Give this to the other driver and to police when exchanging accident details. Without the policy number, the other party cannot file a claim against your insurance.

What it means

Italian RCA (Responsabilità Civile Automobili) insurance is mandatory for all vehicles. The polizza RCA number, insurance company name (compagnia), and contact details must be exchanged after any accident. Keep the insurance certificate (attestato di rischio) in your vehicle at all times.

Variations

La mia compagnia assicurativa si chiama Generali.

My insurance company is called Generali.

Name the company — needed for the CAI form.

Il mio agente assicurativo si chiama...

My insurance agent is called...

Personal agent contact — can expedite claim processing.

L'attestato di rischio è nel cassetto del cruscotto.

The risk certificate is in the glove compartment.

This document must be carried in the vehicle — police can fine you if it's missing.

In Italy, the Fondo di Garanzia per le Vittime della Strada (FGVS) compensates accident victims when the at-fault driver is uninsured or unknown. Uninsured driving (guida senza assicurazione) carries fines of up to €3,500 and vehicle confiscation.
