In Ecuador, that risk is measurable. According to the Attorney General’s Office, 85,619 robbery reports were registered nationwide in 2025. The same official report recorded 15,529 cases involving injuries caused by traffic accidents. Behind every statistic is a driver who did not expect that day to become expensive.

A collision can generate repair bills in minutes. Theft can erase years of savings overnight. And damage caused to another person or vehicle can expose your finances far beyond the value...
