Where should you not buy a Green Card?

Do not buy international car insurance from unverified companies, private individuals, or in spontaneous border conditions. The probability of getting a fake is maximum. In the first half of 2019, border guards detected 169 cases of fraud. Since the start of inspections by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in February, 84 fake and 85 invalid Green Card policies have been recorded (as of July).

Important! No discounts or promotions are provided for the Green Card. Do not fall for scammers' provocations to "save money".

Important! There are no electronic Green Card policies.

If you apply online, you must be issued a paper version. Moreover, the Green Card has a unified form and is filled in by print.

Important! You cannot buy a Green Card for "euro plates".

The international motor insurance policy must be purchased in the country of registration of the vehicle.

Accordingly, if you bought a car with Hungarian plates and want to go to Poland, there are 2 options:

●   At the border with Poland, buy an internal Polish motor third-party liability policy.

●   Look for Polish insurance companies that have received a license to carry out international motor insurance.
