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
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
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
Do I need to tell them what countries I will be visiting? Are the rules different depending on where I intend to travel?
Travelling to EU member states only – the Green Card document itself is designed so it can be used in the same way across every EU member state. The Green Card will specify which countries you are allowed to drive in. Under the current rules, it will always cover you for each EU member state. However, your insurer may still ask you to confirm which countries you intend to travel to.
If travelling to a Green Card country that is not an EU member state then you will need to inform your insurer which countries you will be visiting as you will not be automatically be covered for driving in any country outside the EU, even if they are part of the Green Card system.

FAQ
Do I need a European Accident Statement?
No. The European Accident Statement is a standardised document to make it easier for drivers involved in an accident to exchange facts, but you are not required to carry a copy of the European Accident Statement in your car. Your insurer may provide you with a copy alongside your Green Card.
