  Do I need to print my green card on green paper or card?

  Can I obtain a Green Card to cover my fleet of vehicles?

  A Green Card is required to cover the registration number of the individual vehicle, regardless of whether it is part of a fleet. One Green Card will be needed to cover each vehicle insured under one policy when being driven in the EU. 

  Most commercial fleet motor policies will have been purchased through a broker.  If this is the case then businesses should speak to their broker about issuing Green Cards. Some brokers may have the ability to issue green cards on behalf of the insurer, others will go via the insurer.

  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.

  It may be the case that the insurer/broker doesn’t have the detailed registration of each vehicle within your fleet.  You may need to provide this information to your insurer or broker if requested.

• FAQ

  What happens if I have not received a Green Card?

  If you are not carrying a Green Card when it is required, then you will not be able to drive legally in any EU member state. If you do attempt to drive in the EU without holding a Green Card, you may be accused of driving without insurance and could be subject to a fine, having your vehicle seized or prosecution.  

  The only other legal option available would be to purchase insurance locally when you arrive in the country (often known as ‘frontier insurance’). However, such insurance cover may not be widely available and may be more expensive than UK-issued policies. 

• FAQ

  Will authorities in EU countries recognise the documents – or could I still be told I need to buy cover from a local insurer while I am driving abroad? 

  EU member states will all recognise the Green Card document. Provided you have these documents, you will not need to purchase additional insurance from a local insurer.   

  The Green Card system has a standardised format that has been agreed by all EU member states (including the UK) and is currently used for travel outside the EU to other Green Card member countries (you can find a full list of Green Card member countries here.)
