Mozambique does not have a Road Accident fund as is found in South Africa and other territories. The Mozambique Authorities need to be assured that all foreign registered vehicles entering Mozambique are covered for any liability incurred through the use of these vehicles on their roads and that there is a valid Mozambique insurance policy that covers these costs. It is mandated in the Mozambique Road Act.
