Export license plate insurance

Export insurance is valid for 15 days. In these 15 days, you can move your vehicle abroad. Export insurance can be taken out on the license plate and cannot be renewed. The effective date of the insurance cannot be more than one month in the future. After 15 days, coverage automatically expires.

You can export your vehicle within all of Europe.

The insurance only provides coverage for damage to other vehicles (legal liability, third-party damage). It does not cover damage to your own vehicle.

This insurance is only available to individuals. So for business purposes, you cannot take out export insurance.

The international certificate of insurance, or green card, is issued by Alpina. After 15 days, coverage automatically expires. Export insurance is cancelable up to the effective date of the green card, but once coverage has started, it cannot be canceled.

Through our site you can arrange and pay the export insurance directly and easily online via iDEAL. The green card will be sent to you immediately after receipt of payment via e-mail and by mail the next working day.

We recommend that you wait until you get the green card before driving the vehicle. If that is not possible, you can also print the green card. In that case, do so on "green card paper" (available in bookstores) or other green paper, otherwise you run the risk that the insurance certificate will not be accepted by foreign customs officials.

Even on white paper the insurance certificate is legally valid and you can declare it as such to the official. However, this will cause delays and you may still be required to pay additional expenses that you will have to recover from the foreign authorities (for which you may need your legal assistance insurance ). You probably do not want this kind of hassle. Tip! If necessary, ask for another customs official who may be aware of the laws and regulations and/or make a note of the name of the official(s).
