Green card

A green card is a mandatory motor third party liability insurance valid in foreign states, which is also valid in most European countries.

Damages caused to other road users or vehicles while staying abroad are compensated on the basis of a green card. Damage to your own car shall not be compensated on the basis of a green card.

A green card must not be brought along, when travelling to the countries of the European Economic Area (including the European Union) or Switzerland, because insurance coverage is ensured there with the standard motor third party liability insurance contract.

A green card must be brought along to the countries of the green card system that are not contracting states of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

These countries are:

Albania, Andorra, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Great Britain, Israel, Iran, Macedonia, Morocco, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine.

A green card shall be issued free of charge for the duration of validity of the standard policy.

As of 1 June 2023, the green cards issued in Estonia will no longer be valid in Russia and Belarus.

What you should know during the sale of your vehicle?

If you are selling your vehicle, then you cannot legally end your insurance contract, since it is transferred to the new owner. This means that it is reasonable to add the value of the unused insurance days to the price of the vehicle. After the re-registration of the vehicle, the new owner must amend the insurance contract as soon as possible.

If you do not use your vehicle for a while

A vehicle registered in the traffic register may remain uninsured for a maximum period of 12 months. If you do not use your vehicle for an even longer period, it might be reasonable to remove it from the traffic register, because the vehicle is subject to mandatory insurance after 12 months.

For example, if you have a motorcycle, it is sufficient to keep it insured for a short period of time once a year.
