Abstract
Damage caused by or arising from the use of a vehicle is a prerequisite for the emergence of obligations on the part of car insurers. The scope of the term “vehicle use” is not precisely defined either by the Compulsory Car Insurance Act, or by the EU directives on compulsory traffic-related insurance, which explains numerous car insurance disputes. The paper aims to shed light on the scope of the term “vehicle use” in Croatian and EU case law, as well as shift attention to the term’s varying interpretations, because of which car insurers tend to meet more obligations.
