Green Card online
WHAT IS A GREEN CARD AND WHY IS IT NEEDED?
The Green Card is an international policy of compulsory motor third party liability insurance. This document is mandatory for all motorists who plan to travel abroad in their own cars. The Green Card system operates in 44 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, protecting the interests of victims of road accidents regardless of which country participating in the system the accident occurred in.
Without this policy, it is impossible to cross the border by car, as it confirms the availability of insurance coverage in accordance with the requirements of the country being visited. MTIBU (Motor Transport Insurance Bureau of Ukraine) is the guarantor of payments under Green Card contracts, which makes this insurance reliable and recognized in all countries participating in the system.
A green card for a car issued on the Visit Ukraine website:
• Confirms the legality of crossing the border - without this policy, it is impossible to travel outside Ukraine by car;
• Guarantees financial protection - the insurance covers damages caused to third parties in the event of an accident;
• Internationally recognized - the policy is valid in all countries participating in the system without additional local insurance.
What does the Green Card cover for a car?
The Green Card car insurance for traveling abroad operates on the principle of motor third-party liability insurance, i.e. it covers damage caused to the life and health of third parties, as well as material damage caused to the property of victims in the event of an accident in the territory of any of the countries participating in the system.
How does the electronic Green Card differ from the paper one?
The electronic and paper versions of the Green Card have absolutely the same legal force and are recognized by all member countries of the international motor insurance system. However, you can buy a Green Card online at any time of the day and receive it by email, while a paper one requires a personal visit to the insurance company. It is as easy to check an online policy through the MTIBU website as it is to check a paper one.
The only drawback of the electronic Green Card is that some countries still require you to print out the insurance purchased online. However, starting from 2025, there will be no such requirement when crossing the border, it will be enough to show the Green Card on the smartphone screen.
