Green Card Insurance

The Green Card is an international motor insurance certificate. When you drive your Türkiye-registered vehicle abroad, it replaces the compulsory third-party motor insurance required in the country you visit.

It is valid in the member countries of the Green Card system. The system’s national bureau in Türkiye is the Motor Vehicle Bureau of Türkiye (TMTB). Almost all European countries and several neighbouring countries are members. The memberships of Russia and Belarus have been suspended since 30 June 2023, and that of Iran since 1 January 2024: the Green Card is not valid there, and you need to buy that country’s frontier (border) insurance when you enter. As memberships can change, we check that the countries you will visit are shown on your card when the policy is issued.

• Anyone driving their own car, motorcycle, camper or commercial vehicle outside Türkiye
• Holidays, business trips, road trips through the Balkans and Europe, visits to family abroad
• Journeys through several countries — the card is valid in all countries listed on it

You may be asked to show the Green Card at the border. Vehicles without a valid card may be required to buy temporary border insurance in the country they enter.

Covered: damage and injury you cause to third parties, under the compulsory motor insurance rules and limits of the country where the accident happens.

Not covered:

• Damage to your own vehicle — check separately whether your comprehensive policy (kasko) includes cover abroad
• Medical costs of the driver and passengers — travel health insurance is recommended
• Countries not listed on the card and dates outside the policy period

The Green Card can be issued for short trips — for example 15 days or 1 month — and for longer periods up to 1 year. Duration options and prices vary by insurer, vehicle type and period.

• Vehicle registration certificate (ruhsat) details
