If you have an agreement with a liability insurance at home,
(in Germany) means nationally, they give or send you a
green insurance card.
If they didn’t send you the green card yet, you can get one
on demand. It is free of charge.
Evidence of insurance abroad
The green insurance card is the certificate of insurance
for international vehicle traffic, It contains important
data about vehicle owner, the vehicle itself and the
insurance.
The transaction of a damage abroad is much easier
with the green card.
Therefore keep it always in the glove compartment,
close to hand.
Get comprehensive details about and whether your car
is insured at your destination and in the countries
you are driving through.
By the way, abroad applies always national law. That
means, in case of a compensation they could pay you
less money than in Germany. This is, because the
minimum coverage of the lability insurances are most
times less.
Enquire about, what to do in case of an accident,
before your trip is starting.
