Green Card (International Motor Insurance)
The green card is an international certificate proving that your car has the minimum compulsory motor insurance in the countries listed on it.
What is Green Card (International Motor Insurance)?
Within the EU and some neighbouring countries, a valid policy generally proves cover without a green card. It is still needed for some countries in the system. Your insurer issues it, often free or for a small fee. Drivers from Turkey travelling to Europe by car usually need a green card from their insurer.
How it works
National insurance bureaux in the green card system guarantee that claims from accidents abroad are handled.
Why it matters for your car
Check that the destination country is not crossed out on the card. Carry it with your registration documents when you drive abroad.
