What insurance do I need to drive from Georgia to Greece via Turkey?+
For the Georgia — Turkey — Greece route, you can arrange our border insurance for Greece, while the Turkish part of the journey must be covered either by a valid Green Card including TR or by Turkish border insurance. Alternatively, you can purchase a single Green Card covering the entire route, including both Turkey and Greece. This type of Green Card can be arranged through Georgian insurance broker DEDA.
What do TR and GR mean on a Green Card?+
TR is the international Green Card code for Turkey, while GR is the code for Greece. Before traveling, make sure the relevant codes appear on your insurance certificates and are not excluded from coverage.
Can I travel to Greece if GR is covered but TR is excluded?+
Insurance covering GR may provide the required cover for Greece, but you will still need separate insurance valid in Turkey for the Turkish part of the journey.
Is TR coverage enough if GR is excluded?+
No. TR coverage applies to Turkey only. To enter and drive in Greece, you must also have valid third-party liability insurance covering Greece.
Does Polish OC graniczne cover Turkey?+
No. Polish OC graniczne is intended for the European Economic Area and the territory specified in the policy. Turkey is outside that territorial scope, so separate valid insurance is required for the Turkish part of the journey.
Can Polish OC graniczne replace a Green Card for the entire Georgia — Turkey — Greece route?+
No. Polish OC graniczne does not provide the insurance required for driving in Turkey. If you are traveling from Georgia to Greece via Turkey, you must arrange separate coverage for the Turkish part of the route.
What should I check before entering Greece?+
Make sure your insurance is valid on the date you enter Greece, that Greece is included in the territorial coverage, and that the vehicle details match the registration certificate. If you are using a Green Card, GR must not be excluded. You should also check the registration number, VIN, and the policy start and end dates.
Which documents are needed to check the insurance?+
We will need the vehicle registration certificate, registration number, VIN, make and model, owner details, travel dates, and a copy of your existing Green Card if you already have one.
What changes if Greece is my final destination rather than a transit country?+
Your insurance must remain valid not only when you cross the Turkey–Greece border, but throughout the entire period your vehicle stays in Greece. When choosing the policy period, make sure it covers your planned departure date from Greece.
Do I need separate insurance for Turkey if my Green Card includes TR?+
No. If your Green Card is valid for your travel dates and TR is not excluded from coverage, separate Turkish border insurance is not required. Before traveling, check both the certificate itself and its validity period.
