Third-party liability car insurance for vehicles with foreign license plates

Third-party liability car insurance is not a statutory requirement in all countries of the world.

Foreign vehicles circulating in Austria must prove third party liability insurance cover valid for the whole EU/EEA territory. You have to

• either carry with you a valid international insurance card (the so-called “Green Card”), which your insurance company will give you,
• or sign a border insurance policy that is valid for one month.

If your vehicle is registered in one of the EU/EEA states, in Switzerland, in Andorra or Croatia, the official license plate on the vehicle is seen as proof of insurance cover and no green card or border insurance is required.
