Price of green card (car) on the Turkey Greece border
 

I've searched high and low, even called the border police, but cannot seem to get the price of the green card on the Turkey / Greek border. Is it cheaper to buy it in Turkey or Greece? what is exact price?

Anyone please.

Uh, which of the two countries do you plan to enter, Greece or Turkey?

As has been mentioned numerous times in other discussions, the insurance cover you buy for Turkey does not cover any of the countries bordering Turkey, and the insurance cover that you buy for Western & Central Europe does not cover Turkey.

Also, if you are asking others in the forum what the price of something is, please specify what it is that you want to purchase. I note from the many other posts you have made recently that you are travelling by car, not by motorcycle. What duration of insurance coverage do you need, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc.?

I'm entering Greece from Turkey. I know I've to purchase local Turkish green card (name confusion anyone?) to enter Turkey - that's beyond the question (I'm buying it on GE/Turkey border). Some posts on the forum suggest that its possible to buy international green card on Turkish side of Greece / Turkish border. I would like to know price on either side.

I'm traveling by car, I want to purchase international green card insurance, valid for EU countries. I need 3 month coverage.

I'm also willing to deviate from the route and buy green card from Bulgaria if its cheaper. I would only have to do extra 100km.

Bulgaria is the least expensive country that I know of to buy European green card insurance. So it would be worth your while to deviate the 100 km to enter Bulgaria from Turkey, rather than entering Greece from Turkey.

Just make sure that you enter at a "major" border crossing - not some little dirt road in the back woods. There are insurance vendors at all the "major" crossings. (don't ask me how to determine in advance which crossings are "major").

See post #9 in this discussion for more information about the European green card sold when entering Bulgaria: Green Card available at Bulgarian border?

Thank you! Post #9 is informative. Can you elaborate on what "vehicle documents" docs they asked you exactly? did they ask you your normal/home insurance (from Canada?), or anything particularly strange?

I travel just with driving license, and car registration license. I imagine nothing else is needed for green card.

By "vehicle documents", I meant the car registration document.

The insurance providers have no interest in your domestic (home) insurance documents.
