Regulatory backdrop
The Insurance Act 2017 governs the sector, administered by IRA Uganda. Compulsory third-party motor insurance applies under the Motor Vehicle Insurance (Third Party Risks) Act.

Paying premiums with MTN MoMo
Monthly, quarterly, or annual premiums are collectable via MTN MoMo or Airtel Money STK push. For SMEs with bank accounts, recurring direct debit is available. Every payment generates an IRA-compliant e-receipt that can be claimed against URA tax deductions where applicable.
EAC cross-border cover — the Yellow Card
Ugandan drivers crossing into Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, or South Sudan need valid third-party cover in the destination country. The COMESA/EAC Yellow Card Scheme provides this. GeraSure lets you add a Yellow Card extension to a comprehensive motor policy at purchase; cover is then valid across all member states for the duration.
