Work to the theme "Choice of optimal insurance variants for a chosen client" tries to find the best variant of using a method of multicriteria decision of legal and emergency insurance of cars for the given client. It is possible to apprize basic concept in the first part, relating to insurance stuff, insurance, emergency insurance, then basic concept of multicriteria evaluation of variants. There is a specific client defined in the practical part, with insurance offers having been elaborated for him. These 6 offers from different insurers is then described in detail. It is also possible to see an overview of insurance companies offering emergency insurance of cars in Czech republic. I would like to mention even the evaluation of variants. There were used 6 variants (insurers) and 11criteria, including limits for different insurance filling, as their prices. First I studied methods of weight determination (order method, Fuller´s method, point method, Saaty´ method, method of gradual schedule of weights) and then I continued with the methods for order determination (order method, point method WSA, alkaline variant method, AHP, TOPSIS) - these provided me order of individual insurers. I wrote final result based on these methods. More and more people own a car that is why we meet a problem of car insurance, at least concerning liability insurance (it is to the contrary with emergency insurance obligatory). If you come to a specific insurance company, you will be tried to be persuaded by company employee for exactly his product which doesn´t have to be convenient for you. The best result is to use multicriteria decision to create "your own opinion" and to be able to choose by yourself the most convenient possibility.
