OC graniczne for UAE-registered vehicles
Insurance for a UAE-registered vehicle for travel in Europe
If a vehicle is registered in the United Arab Emirates and temporarily enters Poland or other covered countries, border third-party liability insurance — OC graniczne — may be required.
In brief: the policy is suitable for UAE-registered vehicles if the trip takes place in the countries listed in the document. It does not automatically apply throughout Europe and does not replace comprehensive insurance.
Route and covered countries
The policy is valid only in the countries listed in the document. If a country on the route is not listed, a different insurance product is required for that country.
Your own vehicle
OC graniczne covers third-party civil liability. It is not comprehensive insurance and does not cover repairs to your own vehicle.
