Green card from Ukraine to Russia

What car insurance is needed in Russia - Civil Insurance or Green Card?

Russia is our largest neighbor in terms of area. No visas are required to travel to the Russian Federation, you can cross the border with both your foreign passport and your internal passport of a citizen of Ukraine. No one will ask about travel insurance, unlike our western neighbors - EU countries. However, there is one mandatory condition, without which you will be denied entry - the presence of Green Card insurance from Ukraine to Russia.

Russia became a member of the international Green Card car insurance system in 2009, and in 2015 it received full membership. This means that the Russian Federation undertakes to comply with all the provisions of the statute of the Council of Bureaus. This is a very important point, because over the past few years there have been misunderstandings regarding the issuance of a Green Card for a car to Russia. The media wrote that Russian police officers misled Ukrainian citizens and demanded that owners of cars registered in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions conclude third-party liability insurance contracts on the territory of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, they threatened drivers with a fine. However, such actions contradict Ukrainian and international insurance legislation.

The third-party liability insurance policy is a domestic compulsory insurance for motor vehicles for each country. To obtain it, you need a technical passport, driver's license, passport, and identification code. And to obtain Green Card insurance in the Russian Federation, you must have a foreign passport and a car registration certificate. All insurance companies and agents registered in the transport bureau of the relevant country can sell civil motor vehicle insurance. But all citizens of Ukraine must buy a Green Card to Russia. Insurance for traveling abroad by car is sold only by full members of transport bureaus. The reason is that insurance limits in most member countries of the Green Card car insurance system are many times higher than in the CIS countries. In addition, the guarantor of insurance payments in the event of a road accident abroad is not a specific insurance company (as in the case of OSCPV), but an insurance bureau (in Ukraine it is MTIBU). Hence a very important conclusion - if you have a car with Ukrainian registration (any region), then only the presence of valid Green Card insurance in Russia guarantees your safety abroad. No country can provide insurance compensation for non-resident motor third party liability.

If you are interested in how much Green Card insurance costs in Russia, the answer will depend on the place of purchase.
