From January 1, Ukrainian drivers traveling abroad by car must take into account the new rules. According to the changes in the law “On Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance”, it will be impossible to buy a “Green Card” directly at the border on the same day.
Now you have to take out a policy in advance – at least one day before departure,” said the leading online insurance service hotline.finance.
What has changed?
Previously, drivers purchased a “Green Card” at border checkpoints, immediately before crossing the border. This is convenient for those who remember about insurance at the last minute.
Starting with the new year, the Green Card must be purchased in advance online or at the offices of insurance companies. After registration, the insurance takes effect the next day from 00:00. If you buy a border policy, you have to wait for it to take effect. Without an active policy, the driver will not be allowed by the border service, even if he already has the document ready.
Electronic policy is now recognized in Europe
Also, from January 1, European countries will begin to recognize Ukrainian electronic policies. Motorists no longer need to print a paper copy. It is enough to display the PDF document on the smartphone screen while being checked by border guards or police.
The rule applies not only to our drivers, but also to foreigners entering the territory of Ukraine in cars with foreign registration.
This is a step forward in the digitalization of insurance services, making travel more comfortable.
Where can I apply for a Green Card online?
The most convenient way to buy a Green Card is to use insurance aggregators. For example, the popular Ukrainian service hotline.finance allows you to quickly calculate the cost of a policy and choose the best offer among many insurance companies, saving you time and money.
In addition, at hotline.finance you can get up to 10% bonus cashback when you apply for a Green Card using the promo code GREEN2025. It should be applied at the last stage before paying for insurance.
