Green Card insurance from just £375!

Why should I choose Sterling Green Card cover?

Depending on the policy, standard car insurance can include European cover for a short period of time. At Sterling, for example, our motoring policies include European cover for up to 30 days.

A Green Card is documented proof a British motorist has adequate insurance cover for the country they are driving in. It is currently optional for some countries, including Switzerland.

As it is optional to have a Green Card in Switzerland, you may want to consider dedicated cover for your own peace of mind. Having a Green Card makes things much easier if you need to make a claim or exchange details with another driver or the police.
