Frequently Asked Questions about Motor Vehicle Breakdown and Trip Travel
Insurance
Do I need a Green Card
or Bail Bond?
Green cards are not normally required these days. This is an extension to your
car insurance, so that you are legally covered when driving abroad. However, you
should contact your motor insurer and let them have details of your holiday
plans. A Bail Bond is still advisable when in Spain, as Spanish police can
confiscate your vehicle in the event of an accident. Contact your motor insurer
for this.
Does my car insurance
in the UK cover me when driving abroad?
Normally, yes. But see the question about Green Cards. Vehicle
breakdown insurance is to help you sort out yourself and your car in the event
of an accident or breakdown. It is like AA or RAC insurance in the UK. It is not
the same as UK motor insurance, and you should always let your motor insurer
know your travel plans to ensure you are legally covered for driving abroad.
