You may remember earlier this year, we shared that until further notice, UK drivers and motorcyclists must have an Insurance Green Card for each and every vehicle they drive to Europe.
We can now update you all that The European Commission has announced this Brexit requirement has been dropped for UK-registered vehicles, including those from Northern Ireland.
An Insurance Green Card was originally brought in to act as a form of proof that you have vehicle insurance when driving abroad.
On the decision, The Association of British Insurers (ABI) described the change as excellent news for drivers. Its director general, Huw Evans, said the commission had taken a “pragmatic approach on the matter”.
“UK drivers will no longer need to apply for a green card through their insurer which will help reduce bureaucracy for drivers and road hauliers travelling between the UK and EU,” he said. “It will be especially welcomed by motorists in Northern Ireland driving across the border.”
