Green Card for a Car in Portugal

The process of obtaining insurance for legal entities (companies, businesses, and commercial carriers) on the polis24.com.ua platform is just as simple and convenient as it is for individuals.

Key features of arranging insurance for legal entities:

• Required documents: instead of an individual’s international passport, the details of the company that owns the vehicle are provided, including the EDRPOU code, official company name, and registered legal address.
• Any number of vehicles: the polis24 service allows you to conveniently arrange insurance for a single company passenger car or an entire fleet, including trucks, tractor units, semi-trailers, and minibuses.
• Payment and accounting: bank transfer payment is available, with a complete set of accounting documents provided to confirm the company’s expenses.

Thanks to the online system at polis24.com.ua, legal entities can save significant time when insuring company vehicles for business trips abroad and international freight transportation.

Yes, the Green Card policy provides coverage on all areas where vehicle traffic is permitted or takes place, including private premises and designated areas.

Where the insurance coverage applies:

• public roads and motorways;
• parking lots at shopping and entertainment centers, hotels, and residential complexes;
• gas stations and vehicle service station premises;
• private premises if a road traffic accident involving your vehicle occurs there.

If you accidentally hit another vehicle or damage property while parking abroad (for example, a parking bollard or barrier gate), such an incident is considered a road traffic accident. Your policy issued through polis24.com.ua will cover damage caused to third parties in accordance with the rules and coverage limits of the country where the incident occurred.

The polis24 service provides reliable financial protection in a wide range of standard and unexpected situations both on and off the road.

Losing or damaging the printed copy of your insurance certificate while abroad is not a critical problem if you have an electronic Green Card.

What to do if you lose the printed copy:

1. Find the PDF file of your policy: after purchasing insurance through polis24.com.ua, the completed electronic document is always stored in your email, messenger, or personal account.
2. Print a new copy: find the nearest hotel, internet café, photo studio, or copy center and print the PDF file on a standard A4 sheet of paper.
3. Electronic confirmation: if the police stop you before you have time to print the policy, show the PDF file with the QR code on your smartphone screen. Police officers will be able to scan the code and verify that you have valid insurance in the MTSBU database.

The main advantage of using polis24 is that your document will never be permanently lost: the digital original is always available on your smartphone.

If you change your vehicle’s registration number after purchasing an insurance policy (for example, due to a change of the owner’s place of registration or vehicle re-registration):

• The policy is linked to the VIN code: the main identifier of your vehicle in the international database is the VIN code (vehicle identification/chassis number). Since the VIN remains unchanged, the insurance coverage essentially remains valid.
• Changes may need to be made: despite the VIN remaining unchanged, the information in the policy should legally correspond to the current vehicle documents. During a police check abroad, a discrepancy between the registration number in the vehicle registration certificate and the Green Card may raise additional questions.
• How to update the information: contact polis24.com.ua customer support. polis24 specialists will explain how to amend the policy or issue a duplicate with the updated registration number in accordance with the requirements of your insurance company and MTSBU.

The polis24 service is always available to help resolve any registration-related issues with minimum effort on your part.

Yes, if your route passes through one or more countries participating in the Green Card system, you must have a valid policy throughout the entire journey.

Important points for transit trips:

• One certificate for the entire route: you do not need to purchase a separate policy for each country. A single Green Card certificate purchased through polis24.com.ua is valid in all countries included in the coverage area (EU countries, Moldova, Turkey, and others).
• Continuous validity period: when purchasing insurance, make sure the coverage extends throughout your entire trip — from the day you leave Ukraine until the day you return. If you plan a transit trip lasting more than 15 days, choose an appropriate coverage period (1 month or longer).
• Checks at each border: customs or police authorities may check the validity of your insurance policy at any internal or external border.

On the polis24 platform, you can calculate the required dates in advance and choose the optimal certificate validity period for smooth transit throughout Europe.

A deductible in insurance is the portion of a loss that is not covered by the insurance company and must be paid by the policyholder (the person at fault for the accident) themselves.

Regarding Green Card policies:

• In most cases, the deductible is 0: according to MTSBU rules and international Green Card system standards, most types of vehicles and insurance claims are subject to a zero deductible. This means that when an insured event occurs, the insurance company fully covers the damage caused to the injured party within the coverage limits of the country where the accident occurred, without requiring you to pay any additional amount out of pocket.
• Transparent terms: when purchasing a policy through the polis24.com.ua service, you receive a policy from leading Ukrainian insurance companies with clear and transparent claims settlement terms.

The polis24 team works only with accredited insurers, ensuring that there are no hidden deductions or unpaid amounts in the event of an accident abroad.

A situation where the insurance policy expires while you are waiting in line at a border crossing is quite common due to lengthy customs procedures.

Step-by-step actions to resolve the issue:

1. Do not cross the border with an expired policy: the border authorities of both Ukraine and the neighboring country check the validity of the policy in real time. Even if the policy expired 10 minutes ago, the system will register the absence of insurance coverage, and you may be denied exit or fined.
2. Purchase a new policy online while waiting in line: since Green Card certificates are now issued electronically, you can purchase a new document using your smartphone in 3–5 minutes through the polis24.com.ua platform.
3. Pay attention to the policy start date: when purchasing the policy, specify the start date of the new policy as the following day, not earlier.
4. Find an opportunity to print the policy: if foreign border authorities require a paper copy, you can use printing services at a nearby gas station or service terminals at the border.

Thanks to the mobile-friendly version of the polis24.com.ua website, purchasing a new Green Card directly from your car while waiting in line takes just a few minutes.

Yes, you can obtain an international Green Card insurance certificate if you have a temporary vehicle registration certificate (for example, one issued for a period of vehicle use or while a leasing/loan procedure is being processed).

Key features of obtaining insurance with a temporary registration certificate:

• Full insurance coverage: a temporary vehicle registration certificate is an official document confirming the right to use the vehicle. An insurance policy issued on its basis has the same legal validity as a policy issued based on a permanent vehicle registration certificate.
• Policy validity period: it is important to note that the Green Card insurance period must not exceed the validity period of the temporary registration certificate itself.
• Entering vehicle details: when calculating the price and completing the form on polis24.com.ua, you must provide exactly the registration details and license plate number specified in your temporary registration certificate.

On the polis24 service, entering data from temporary documents is optimized for fast processing. If you have any questions, you can always contact polis24.com.ua technical support for assistance with completing the required fields.

Any wheeled vehicle traveling outside Ukraine and participating in road traffic must have insurance coverage.

Specific requirements for different vehicle categories:

• Motorcycles and mopeds (category A): require a separate Green Card policy. The tariff for motorcycles and mopeds is the lowest among all vehicle categories.
• Trailers and semi-trailers (categories F, E): under Ukrainian law, trailers are considered separate vehicles and require separate insurance. Even if a Green Card has been issued for the towing vehicle or passenger car, a separate insurance policy must be purchased for the trailer.
• Trucks and buses (categories C, D): special tariffs apply to trucks and passenger buses, taking into account their larger dimensions and increased liability on the road.

On the polis24.com.ua website, you can easily select the appropriate vehicle category in the calculation form — whether it is a passenger car, motorcycle, truck, or trailer — and instantly receive an official policy for a safe trip abroad!
