Van Insurance

Great news – you can take your vehicle abroad

What it covers

  • You and any named driver on your policy when using the vehicle within the European Union
  • Up to 30 days, in any period of insurance, full policy cover while you are using the vehicle within the countries referred to in your policy documents
  • The option to increase your cover for a longer period subject to your insurer's approval
  • Customs duty will be covered if the vehicle is damaged and the insurer decides not to return it after a valid claim on the policy
  • Transportation while the vehicle is being carried between sea or air ports or railway stations within specified countries, if by a recognised route

Things to think about

  • You will need an International Motor Insurance Card (Green Card) in order to drive abroad. Details of how to request a Green Card can be found in your policy documents.
  • Further information on the countries that follow the above EU Directive can be found by visiting www.mib.org.uk
  • If your Certificate of Motor Insurance allows a specific driver to drive any other vehicle, that cover does not apply outside of the territorial limits
