Brexit advice for car insurance customers

This page was last updated on Monday 17^th February 2020. To the best of our knowledge, the information below is full and correct as of that date.

At 11pm on 31^st January 2020, the UK formally left the European Union and entered into a transition period, which will last until at least 31^st December 2020.

If you’ve made plans to visit an EU country, you’re probably wondering how you’ll be affected.

During the transition period, most things will remain the same, including travelling to and from the EU. So until the transition period ends, you won’t need to do anything differently and you won’t need a green card. But if you have any questions, here’s what you need to know about your car insurance policy and travelling to Europe.

Documents you’ll need

If you’re planning to drive to an EU member state during the transition period, you won’t need to bring any additional documents, except your certificate of motor insurance. However, after the end of the transition period, you’ll need physical copies of your green card, certificate of motor insurance and, unless the only EU country you plan to visit is the Republic of Ireland, an international driving permit. We’ll keep you updated with what you’ll need, nearer the time.

We’ll continue to update this page as the situation develops – so check back for the most up-to-date advice. However, please bear in mind that it may take time for us to reassess how political decisions will affect our customers.
