If you are one of the 214,722 drivers who have not paid your 2020 Marchamo, it is better avoid driving as the fine is ¢55,000.
According to National Insurance Institute (INS), 1,345,621 drivers have already paid, which represents a collection of more than ¢241 billion colones.
The largest number of payments were made December 30 (122,011), December 31 (86,958) and December 27 (76,767); what proves – once again – that the ticos leave “for the last moment” the payment.
During 2018, the INS used ¢ 50,536,583,338 for the care of victims of traffic accidents, through Mandatory Insurance; including medical care, payment of disabilities, rehabilitation, orthopedic implements, compensation to relatives of the deceased, among others.
