What Insurance Is Required for Travel from Georgia to Bulgaria

When driving from Georgia to Bulgaria, you must have third-party liability insurance that is valid in every country along the route. The standard driving route usually passes through Turkey. This means the insurance document must cover not only Bulgaria, but also Turkey. For a vehicle registered in Georgia, the primary option may be an international Green Card certificate. A Polish OC graniczne policy is valid only in the countries listed in the document and should not be treated as insurance coverage for Turkey.

When This Insurance May Be Suitable

  • The vehicle is registered in Georgia and is traveling to Bulgaria.
  • The route passes through Turkey and liability insurance is required for the transit countries.
  • Proof of mandatory liability insurance is required when entering Bulgaria.
  • The trip continues from Bulgaria to Romania, Greece, or other European countries.
  • The vehicle is being used for personal, business, or commercial travel.
  • OC graniczne must be arranged together with separate insurance documents for different sections of the route.

  2. 02Provide the complete travel route, including all transit countries.
  3. 03Specify the requested policy start date and coverage period.
  4. 04Upload a clear and readable copy of the vehicle registration document.
  5. 05Receive confirmation of the appropriate insurance option and the final price.
  6. 06Pay the insurance premium after the information has been reviewed.
  7. 07Receive the policy and verify the covered countries before the trip begins.

What Determines the Cost

The cost of insurance depends on the selected product, vehicle category, policy period, and territorial coverage. Rates may vary for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and trailers. The final price is confirmed after the vehicle registration document, route, and eligibility for the selected insurance product have been reviewed.

Policy Period and Start Date

The policy is issued for a specified period with a predetermined start date. Insurance cannot be issued retroactively. It is recommended to submit the application before leaving Georgia so that the route can be reviewed, the policy can be issued, and all required countries can be confirmed in the document.

Insurance Application for a Georgian-Registered Vehicle

In the application, provide the vehicle’s country of registration, complete route, travel start date, vehicle type, and the information shown in the registration document. After review, a manager will confirm whether a Green Card can be issued or whether separate insurance documents are required for certain countries along the route.
