Core Insurance (ESX)

Core Insurance - Realistic Vehicle Insurance System for ESX

Add economic depth and consequence to vehicle ownership with Core Insurance, a comprehensive insurance and impound system for ESX servers. This script introduces realistic vehicle recovery mechanics that prevent car spam, encourage careful driving, and create meaningful choices around insurance coverage. Players must manage insurance plans, pay claims, and face real consequences for vehicle loss or destruction.

What's Included

A complete vehicle insurance framework featuring multiple coverage tiers, claim processing systems, impound management, insurance purchase interfaces, and automated vehicle recovery mechanics. The system integrates seamlessly with your server economy, creating ongoing costs for vehicle ownership while providing protection against total loss. Insurance becomes a genuine consideration rather than an ignored mechanic.

Key Features

• Multiple Insurance Plans - Different coverage tiers with varying costs and claim limits
• Realistic Claim System - Players file claims and pay deductibles to recover vehicles
• Impound Integration - Destroyed or abandoned vehicles go to impound requiring payment
• Economic Balance - Prevents vehicle spam by adding meaningful recovery costs
• Coverage Duration - Insurance policies expire, requiring renewal for continued protection
• Claim Limits - Higher-tier plans offer more claims before requiring policy renewal
• Vehicle Registration - Ties insurance to specific vehicles for accountability
• Automated Processing - Claims are processed automatically based on coverage type
• Anti-Abuse Protection - Prevents exploitation through cooldowns and validation checks
• Performance Optimized - Minimal resource usage (0.00ms when idle)

Perfect For

• Realistic economy servers wanting vehicle ownership consequences
• Communities combating vehicle spam and reckless driving
• Servers with vehicle damage and persistence systems
• Roleplay-focused communities emphasizing financial management
• Servers wanting insurance agent job opportunities
• Communities seeking balanced vehicle recovery mechanics

How The System Works

Purchasing Insurance - Players visit insurance NPCs or locations to buy coverage plans. Each plan has different costs, claim limits, and duration (30/60/90 days typical).

Vehicle Registration - Vehicles are registered under insurance policies, linking coverage to specific cars owned by players.

Filing Claims - When vehicles are destroyed or impounded, players file insurance claims to recover them. Claims require deductible payments based on plan type.

Recovery Process - Approved claims restore vehicles to garages or designated recovery locations. Uninsured vehicles require full impound fees for recovery.

Policy Management - Players must track policy expiration dates and renew coverage to maintain protection. Lapsed policies mean full recovery costs.

Insurance Tier Examples

Basic Coverage - Low monthly cost, high deductibles, limited claim counts. Suitable for cheap vehicles or budget-conscious players.

Standard Coverage - Moderate costs with reasonable deductibles and adequate claim allowances. The most popular choice for everyday vehicles.

Premium Coverage - Higher upfront cost but minimal deductibles and generous claim limits. Worth it for expensive or frequently-used vehicles.

What Makes It Stand Out

Core Insurance solves one of FiveM's biggest economy problems: vehicle spam. On servers without insurance systems, players accumulate unlimited vehicles with no consequences for loss. This creates unrealistic gameplay where cars are treated as disposable. Core Insurance changes this dynamic by making vehicle ownership an ongoing financial commitment. The tiered plan system creates meaningful choices - do players pay more monthly for peace of mind, or risk high recovery costs with basic coverage? The decision adds depth to personal finance roleplay.

Economic Impact

Insurance premiums create consistent money sinks that help balance server economies. Players with multiple vehicles face monthly costs to maintain coverage, removing currency from circulation organically. Claim deductibles provide additional expenditure opportunities when vehicles are lost. Uninsured players pay full impound fees, creating significant punishment for neglecting coverage. The ongoing costs encourage players to make strategic decisions about which vehicles to insure versus keeping uninsured.

Gameplay Consequences

With insurance systems active, player behavior changes noticeably. Reckless driving decreases when vehicle destruction means filing claims and paying deductibles. Players become more protective of expensive vehicles with high replacement costs. Car chases gain real stakes when crashing means losing coverage or paying hefty claims. Criminal activities like vehicle theft become more impactful when stolen cars can't be easily replaced. The system naturally promotes more careful, realistic vehicle usage.

Job Opportunities

Insurance systems create legitimate employment for insurance agents. Players can work at insurance companies, processing claims, selling policies, and investigating fraud. Agent jobs add non-criminal civilian roles to server economies. Companies can compete on pricing and service, creating market dynamics. Investigators can examine suspicious claims, adding detective work beyond police investigations. The system supports complex business roleplay.

Integration Possibilities

Core Insurance pairs excellently with vehicle damage persistence scripts - damaged cars require repairs before claims are approved. Mechanic jobs gain business from insurance-mandated repairs. Vehicle theft scripts can trigger insurance claims when cars are stolen. Police impound systems feed directly into insurance recovery workflows. Health insurance features in some scripts extend the concept beyond vehicles to medical coverage.

Anti-Abuse Features

The script includes protections against common exploits. Claim cooldowns prevent rapid cycling through vehicles. Validation checks ensure players can't claim vehicles they don't own. Policy limits prevent unlimited free vehicles from single purchases. Deductible costs make repeatedly destroying vehicles financially unsustainable. Database logging tracks claim history for admin monitoring of suspicious patterns.

Customization Options

Server owners have complete control over the insurance economy. Set plan prices, claim limits, deductible amounts, and policy durations to match server balance. Configure NPC locations or use items for mobile insurance. Adjust claim processing times from instant to delayed for realism. Enable or disable specific features like automatic impounding. The config-based design allows fine-tuning without code modification.

Player Experience

From the player perspective, insurance becomes part of vehicle ownership routine. New car purchases prompt insurance decisions. Notifications warn about expiring policies. The claim interface is straightforward when vehicles are destroyed. Recovery is simple for insured vehicles but expensive for uninsured ones. The system adds realism without creating frustrating complexity, striking a balance between depth and usability.
