What help will I receive if I am involved in an accident that was not my fault while driving in the EU?  

Through the Green Card scheme, the UK has well-established relationships with motor insurers in each member state to facilitate the settlement of claims for any incidents involving cross-border drivers.  

The UK has now been withdrawn from the ‘Protection of Visitors Scheme' which allows victims of road traffic collisions in EEA countries to make compensation claims in their own country and language.

However, the Motor Insurance Bureau has been working closely with the Bureaux and Guarantee Funds of EEA states to sign bilateral Protection of visitors agreements to facilitate the exchange of information, to enable the MIB and EEA counterparts to assist victims in obtaining the information they may need to make a claim. At present, agreements have been reached with most EEA states, but a full path to compensation has not been established for Poland and Romania.
