Green Card insurance policy for safe travelling around the world

The State Customs Service of Ukraine announces the receipt of new portable scanning systems that will be used for checks at checkpoints. The article below explains how the scanners will improve the situation at the border and how the devices work.

Queues at checkpoints will soon become shorter: details

With the assistance of the United States Agency for International Development, Ukrainian customs officers have received 20 portable backscatter X-ray machines designed to check citizens at the border.

Portable scanning systems send so-called beams through bags, suitcases or other items. These beams pass through the object, and some of them bounce back, like a ball against a wall. The device catches these reflected rays and uses them to create a picture of what is inside. This picture shows whether there are metal objects, liquids or anything suspicious inside.

The State Customs Service of Ukraine notes that training for scanning system operators will soon begin, as the specifics of the devices are quite complex.

It is reported that all scanning devices will be distributed among the checkpoints on Ukraine's western border.

The new equipment should speed up border checks and reduce queues.

A reminder for Ukrainian drivers!

A Green Card insurance policy is mandatory for travelling to the border in a car with state registration.

The Green Card is an international insurance policy for motorists. If you have already left Ukraine in your own car, you know that this policy is mandatory for crossing the border. The main thing is to keep track of the policy's validity period and renew it in time.

The insurance company will compensate for any damage that may be caused abroad by a car with a Green Card policy. It's important to remember that damage caused to third parties is covered, but the coverage does not apply to the person responsible for the accident.

It is better to take out insurance online because it is quick and easy. On the Visit Ukraine portal, you can buy a Green Card from a licensed insurer. Packages are available for different periods from 15 days to 1 year for cars and trucks, trailers and semi-trailers for trucks, as well as motorcycles and scooters.

Just a reminder. Car insurance is mandatory both for driving on the roads of Ukraine and for travelling abroad. For more information on favourable tariffs and how to quickly buy a policy online, please follow the link.
