What is a Green Card?

The international Green Card auto insurance system has been operating since 1949, the main goal of the system is to make the process of compensation for damage simpler. Thanks to the system, uniform rules apply in all participating countries, which helps to solve various problems with compensation payments. In 1997, Ukraine became a member of this system, so this policy is required to travel abroad. Crimea is a member of the system as part of Russia, which joined the system in 2009. In addition to Russia, the Green Card is valid in 47 other countries.

Features of insurance

The Green Card to Crimea operates on the same terms as insurance of this type for other participating countries. The presence of a policy guarantees the payment of compensation by the insurance company in the event of an accident caused by the insured. The system helps to understand and avoid problems in the event of an accident involving a foreigner.

The payment of compensation to a third party for material damage or property damage is carried out by the Motor Transport Insurance Bureau of Ukraine, as well as the relevant body of Russia. The maximum amount of compensation corresponds to the limit of the country in which the accident occurred.

When entering Crimea, every Ukrainian must have such insurance, otherwise he will simply not pass border control.
