Driving abroad with young driver car insurance

So you have a new car, are covered by Hoot’s young driver car insurance and are itching to get out and explore the big wide world.

Jumping into your convertible and zooming off for sunnier climes sounds very cosmopolitan but you must check with your motor insurance company first to make sure that you are fully covered while driving abroad.

Do I need a Green Card?
Before setting off make sure that your car insurance premium provides the minimum insurance cover required by law in the country that you wish to visit.

If driving outside the EU you may need to be issued with a Green Card, a document that indicates to foreign authorities that you are insured to drive the particular vehicle named on the card.

If you have a policy with Hoot Car Insurance Services and intend to drive in an EU country you should not need a green card as your young driver car insurance policy provides you with the legal cover needed for driving in EU countries.

But, if you wish to increase the level of young driver car insurance you currently have while driving abroad you will need to apply for a Green Card.

You should also bear in mind that some authorities in the EU still do not recognise UK car insurance as being valid so it may be less hassle to just apply for a Green Card after all.

It is well worth informing your car insurance provider that you are planning to drive abroad. Call us on 0800 954 97 55 so we can give you tips and further advice that will make driving abroad, the sunny, fun-filled, hassle-free experience you dreamed it would be.
