BREXIT - Update

Do I need a Green Card?

As you may already know the exit date for Brexit has been extended, this means that things have changed with Green Cards, the below information should have everything that you need to know. If you have any questions or queries please call us on 0800 0304 206.

If you are travelling to the EU and will return prior to the exit date which has now been delayed to 31st October 2019, you do not need a Green Card and do not need to contact us for a Green Card you just need to take your certificate of Motor Insurance which has the European wording on the reverse.

If you are planning to be driving your vehicle in the EU on or after the new exit date above, please contact us 21 days before you plan to travel so we can issue you with a Green Card if you require one.

In the event there is no deal on the 31st October 2019, a Green Card will be required for all vehicles which travel in the EU after the exit date to prove that you have the required insurance, regardless of the level of motor cover provided on your policy. This is true even if you have a foreign use extension on your motor policy.

In the event that we leave before the 31st October 2019 it will mean that we have come to an agreement and therefore leaving with a Deal which will mean that Green Cards will not be required at all for travel within the EU.

And there is no guarantee, yet, that we won't leave without a deal before October.
Double negatives! What I meant was we could still leave without a deal before Oct....
Should we risk it or get the card just in case? 🤔

Get the card just in case, it's free unless you want to go to Morocco or some other places.

No need for green cards in case of no-deal Brexit apparently. That’s for ROI drivers going to UK, but not the other way. Link
