Green cards

Brexit? what’s that all about then? 

Seriously though, I see International Driving Permits will be available from the Post Office from 1 February which is at least one thing we can do to prepare for the new season. Not sure about booking with Brittany Ferries though as it seems there’s a good chance of getting ‘bumped off’ if ports are besieged by HGV backlog! Happy Days (not).

Hi all,

When the UK leaves the EU, members may need to carry an International Certificate of Insurance (Green card) as proof of 3rd party motor insurance cover when driving in the EU.

If you have a Club Motorhome or Car insurance policy, these cards are issued by our partner brokers, Devitt Insurance Ltd, who can be contacted on 0345 300 4290.

The Club's advice is that you should contact Devitt at least two weeks prior to your departure to obtain your Green Card if necessary and to ensure you have suitable cover in place for your trip.

More information and advice re Brexit can be found on our website, here: https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/overseas-holidays/useful-information/travelling-after-brexit/

With a No Deal exit will Spanish Bail Bonds one again be needed and supplied? No point asking the ".gov" people as they don't seem to know.

David Smith thank you for your advice....is there a reason why none (?) of the clubs insurance telephone advisors are aware of this advice?

My first post indicates a statement by the person I spoke to, who, in turn spoke to his supervisor, and advised me as previously stating the club is .....'Waiting to see what happens'

I do have all the correct advice I need to travel throughout Europe in the future except for this little error  (but could have been vital!) by my insurance agent....The Club!

I have now spoken to Devitt Ins Ltd and surprised that their comment and attitude mirrored the Clubs!

'Waiting to see what happens'

Unlike other insurance companies, and most of Europe for that matter, they too have no contingency plans in place for a no deal Brexit.

It seems that Devitt require 3 weeks notice...we travel 11 days after the 29th March.....but they won't issue on spec prior to that date.

Been doing this for over 50 years and never had any kind of problem or uncertainty.

I can't imagine them dealing with and satisfying  thousands of telephone requests on the 29th!

To solve my own situation we will make a minor detour through Kaliningrad and obtain a green card well in advance!

Just like you, David, I honestly cannot remember the last time I paid for a "Green Card" and have not seen one in decades. Maybe Peugeot Insurance can pass on instructions to other insurers, if and/or when such things are needed.
