On and after February 24, many families fled abroad to save their children and parents. At that time, no one really thought about the sufficient number of necessary documents, because the priority was survival.
Moreover, the governments of neighboring countries met Ukrainians halfway: for example, it was possible to enter Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Moldova without a green card. However, as of July 2022, the situation in Ukraine became relatively controlled, and the need to carry a green card was reintroduced.
Together with Finance.ua, we are going to tell you more about what a Green Card Price policy is and how to apply for it online in Ukraine.
Briefly about the green card: peculiarities of issuance in times of war
A green card is insurance that indemnifies the party affected by an accident for damages incurred by the policyholder. At the same time, the green card does not cover the policyholder himself.
This policy is required to cross the borders of 46 countries, including all European countries. If you do not have a green card, you will be fined, the amount of which will vary depending on the country you are in. On average, the fine for not having a green card can reach 1000 euros.
The cost of the policy depends on the type of car you will be driving abroad (car, car with trailer, truck, bus or motorcycle) and the duration of your stay abroad. The bigger the car and the longer the period of stay abroad, the higher the cost of the policy.
The amount covered by the policy is determined by the country you are in. Each country sets different limits, which can range from thousands to millions of euros.
The policy can be issued both at the border and upon arrival in another country – however, you should note that the cost of such a purchase will be much higher than in Ukraine.
