It is necessary
- - certificate of registration of your vehicle;
- - money.
Instructions
Step 1
"Green Card" is an international insurance certificate of civil liability of vehicle owners in the territory of the Schengen countries in the event of an accident. It works similarly to the OSAGO policy on the territory of the Russian Federation. Abroad it is a driver's insurance document and guarantees compensation for damage caused to him through the fault of a citizen of a foreign state. To issue a Green Card, you will need a certificate of registration of your vehicle (TC).
Step 2
Keep in mind that insurance companies that are members of the Green Card Bureau, as well as agents to whom insurance companies-members of this organization have delegated their own rights, have the right to sell the Green Card. The rates for this certificate are the same for all companies.
Step 3
Purchase a Green Card certificate directly from an insurance company. To do this, you will need to write an application for its issuance and provide a receipt for payment.
Step 4
The cost of the "Green Card" is influenced by the type of vehicle and the insurance period. The cost of the certificate does not depend on the length of service or the age of the driver or drivers. Do not include the names of all drivers on the certificate. The car can be driven by a driver who has an appropriate license and permission from the owner of the vehicle. If your car has a trailer, then you need to issue two certificates.
Step 5
Get an insurance policy from a travel agency. While arranging your trip, the staff, along with other documents, will purchase a Green Card for you, and you will save time.
Step 6
You can get an insurance certificate at the border checkpoint, where insurance companies have their representatives. Carefully read the names of these companies and find out if they are included in the list of those that can sell the Green Card, which may save you from fraud.
Step 7
Remember that in the event of an accident, the damage caused to health is compensated for, without exception, to all victims. The insurance company will indemnify property damage only to the innocent participant in the event. The Green Card certificate does not protect the guilty party to an accident from criminal liability.
