FAQ
Will I need to show my insurance documents when I cross the border into the EU? Will I also need to show the documents when I move from one EU member state to another?
You may be required to show documents at the border when entering the EU, but this will be a decision for the border authorities to take. You may also be subject to police checks while driving abroad and you will also need to be able to present the document at the scene if you are involved in an accident.

FAQ
I drive in the EU regularly in my own private car. Will I need to tell my insurer every time I travel?
A Green Card will automatically provide you with a guarantee of insurance for a minimum of 15 days. Insurers can also specify that it covers a longer period if this is required, so ask for this if you need it.
However, at the point at which you renew your motor insurance policy, you will also need to ensure you have a new Green Card for your new policy (even if you are still abroad on the date your original policy expires). If you decide to switch to a new insurer, you will need to request a new Green Card from that insurer as well.

FAQ
Will there be any additional charges?
It is possible that there may be a small administrative charge associated with the provision of Green Card documents.
In addition, if you have fully comprehensive insurance, you will need to contact your insurer to check what aspects of this apply while you are driving abroad. Some insurers will allow you to purchase additional cover for when you are driving abroad.

FAQ
I run a business where I employ drivers who regularly cross the border into the EU. Can I arrange their insurance for them or will they need their own documents?
As an employer, you will be able to arrange insurance cover on behalf of your employees, as you do today.
However, each of your employees will have an individual legal responsibility to carry these documents. Driving for employment or business purposes would not exempt anyone from needing to carry a Green Card.
A Green Card is required to cover the registration number of the individual vehicle, so a Green Card will be needed to cover each vehicle insured under one policy when being driven in the EU.
If your employees change vehicles, they will need to carry the Green Card that is registered to the registration of the vehicle they are driving.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer, you will also need a separate green card for that trailer.

FAQ
Can I use the documents insurers provide to rent or borrow a vehicle while I am in an EU member state?
No. If Green Card documents are provided, this will only apply to your own UK-registered vehicle. If you want to rent or borrow a vehicle, you will need to arrange insurance separately and your Green Card will not cover this.

FAQ
What happens if I am involved in an accident abroad that I may be wholly or partly responsible for – do I need to contact my insurer?
Yes. You will need to contact your insurer as soon as possible. You will also need to ask for the insurance details of the other driver and we would also strongly recommend you gather as much evidence as you can about what happened in the accident, including taking photos if possible.
