How is my cover affected by Brexit?
For the time being, Brexit won’t affect your cover. You’ll still be covered for up to 90 days in the countries listed in Your Car/Van Insurance Guide. You can find the guide you need here: Policy Books. This period can also be extended with our prior agreement.
Towards the end of the year you may need extra documentation to drive abroad. This page will be updated as we know more so please check your documentation and this page before you leave. Up to date information is also available at GOV.UK.
What's a Green Card?
A Green Card is an internationally recognised insurance document that proves you have the minimum level of cover for third party property damage and personal injury in countries that are part of the Green Card system.
What countries will I need a Green Card for?
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, or at the end of any transitional period when we leave the EU, you'll need a Green Card to drive in:
- Countries in the European Union (EU)
- Countries in the European Economic Area (EEA)
- Switzerland
- Andorra
- Serbia
Will I be insured to drive in the countries listed above after Brexit?
Our policies will still allow you to drive in Europe after Brexit. Depending on the outcome of the negotiations with the EU you may need a Green Card and other additional documentation to drive there at the end of 2020.
If you don't have a Green Card and no deal is reached at the end of the year, you may be breaking the law and you might face a fine or your vehicle could be seized.
Please contact us if you need to drive abroad for longer than 90 days.
Do I need to request a Green Card?
At the moment, you can drive your vehicle in the countries listed above without a Green Card, but this would change if we leave the EU without a deal.
If you plan to be outside the UK towards the end of the year, you may need a Green Card to show you have the minimum level of cover abroad. You can request a Green Card using our online form but we'll update this page when we know more.
