Euroasia insurance

Green Card


This is an international motor third-party liability insurance certificate that confirms a vehicle has the required liability coverage when traveling to a country within the Green Card system.

International context

National bureaux help settle third-party losses after accidents involving foreign vehicles. The certificate applies only within the recognised insurance cover.
International context

Driver context

Uzbekistan does not participate in the system, and EUROASIA Insurance does not issue Green Cards. Owners of Uzbek-registered cars need to check local or frontier liability cover throughout their route.
Driver context

Detailed Explanation

Planning to drive abroad in a car with Uzbek registration? Check the liability insurance needed for every part of your route first. Uzbekistan is outside the Green Card system, and Uzbek insurers, including EUROASIA Insurance, do not issue this certificate.

In plain terms

A Green Card is an international certificate of motor third-party liability insurance. It confirms cover if the driver harms other people or damages their property in a country covered by the certificate. Claims follow the rules of the country where the accident happens.

For a vehicle registered in Uzbekistan, look for local or frontier liability insurance accepted in the destination country. This is a separate contract, rather than an automatic extension of Uzbek OSAGO, the compulsory insurance covering a vehicle owner's liability.

Why vehicle registration matters

National insurance bureaux guarantee certificates issued by participating insurers. Uzbekistan has no bureau represented in this system. The owner's passport and the vehicle's registration are separate issues: Uzbek citizenship alone does not determine which certificate is available.

Kazakhstan and Georgia are also outside the system, but Azerbaijan's bureau authorises Green Cards for vehicles registered in those countries. This exception cannot be extended to Uzbek registration. If the car is registered elsewhere, check the rules for that registration and the countries on your route.

What to buy instead

For a car with Uzbek registration entering Belarus, arrange an appropriate frontier insurance contract covering liability in Belarus. Domestic insurance may be needed if the stay is extended. A Belarusian policy should not be treated as cover for the rest of a European journey.

When entering Poland without a valid Green Card, frontier liability insurance is needed. For travel within the EU, check the actual territory covered by the contract. A seller's use of the name 'Europolis' proves neither that the policy is valid nor that it is suitable for your car.

For Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, check local compulsory insurance requirements beforehand. Do not rely on Russian or Belarusian Green Cards as a universal solution: their bureaux's participation is suspended. Iran's participation is also suspended, so old country lists can mislead you. Even for Turkey or Azerbaijan, which participate in the system, a car registered in Uzbekistan needs suitable local or frontier cover.

How other policies differ

A Green Card concerns damage to third parties. Cover for your own car must be checked under KASKO, insurance for the vehicle itself, including the territory covered by the contract.

Travel insurance helps with personal medical risks within the selected policy terms. It does not replace compulsory motor liability insurance. EUROASIA Insurance does not issue Green Cards; its travel policy is not frontier motor insurance.

Checks before departure

  • Check the vehicle's country of registration and the entire route, including transit.
  • Confirm which policies each country accepts and where to arrange them before entry.
  • Check the territory, validity period, registration number and other vehicle details.
  • Ask which documents the seller needs and whether an electronic policy is accepted.
  • Keep the insurer's contacts and accident reporting instructions.

If your trip requires a visa, separately check the documents for a Schengen visa. A visa application package does not prove that the car is insured.

Common mistakes and accident steps

A common mistake is buying a policy solely because of its name without checking the vehicle details and covered countries. Another is expecting liability insurance to pay for your own car's repairs.

After an accident, make the scene safe, follow local reporting rules, keep photographs and the other parties' details, and contact the insurer. Payment depends on the contract and the rules of the country where the accident happens. The examples below are fictional; amounts are illustrative, not premiums or promises of payment.

Practical examples

Story 1: Aziz checks frontier cover

Situation:

Aziz from Samarkand enters Belarus in an Uzbek-registered car with valid frontier insurance. He causes damage to another car; the illustrative loss is equivalent to 6 million soums.

Solution:

In this fictional example, the insurer accepts the claim and compensates the injured party within the contract. The policy covers Belarus, so his liability is insured in that country.

Story 2: Farhod checks the next leg

Situation:

Farhod from Tashkent plans to continue from Belarus to Poland. His illustrative budget for possible costs on the road is 5 million soums; he assumes his Belarusian policy covers the whole journey.

Solution:

The Belarusian contract does not confirm cover in Poland. Before entry, Farhod needs suitable frontier insurance and must check the territory covered for the rest of the trip. His budget determines neither the premium nor a claim payment.

Story 3: Bekzod confuses different policies

Situation:

Bekzod from Andijan buys only medical travel insurance and has an accident abroad. Repairs to his own car are illustratively estimated at 4 million soums.

Solution:

Medical insurance does not replace motor liability insurance or pay for car repairs as a vehicle policy might. In this fictional case, his own car was not covered; he cannot expect the travel policy to pay for these repairs.

Most Popular Terms

Traffic accident

This is a road incident in which harm was caused to people, vehicles, roads, structures, or other property.

European accident report

This is a simplified procedure for recording a traffic accident without calling traffic police, when the drivers themselves document the circumstances for insurance settlement.

Comprehensive Car Insurance (KASKO)

KASKO is insurance that protects not someone else’s car, but your own. Put very simply, it is like a financial safety cushion for your vehicle: if there is an accident, a broken window, parking damage, a fallen tree, or even theft, the insurance company can take on part of the big expenses. The main idea is simple: KASKO helps you avoid facing major car-related costs alone.

Motor Third-Party Liability

Motor Third-Party Liability is an obligation to compensate for harm caused to other people or their property through the use of a vehicle. Who is responsible for the harm is determined by law and the circumstances of the incident.

Auto loan (car purchase loan insurance)

Insurance for a car loan is protection connected not just with the car itself, but with buying that car on credit. Put very simply, the bank gives money for the vehicle and wants to be sure that both the car and the repayment process remain protected. That is why insurance often comes together with a car loan: it helps reduce risks both for the bank and for the borrower if something serious happens to the car.

EURO KASKO

This is a modular car insurance product in which the vehicle owner chooses which parts of the car and which risks to insure.
