Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia Green Card/Border Insurance Cost
 
Hello,

First off I've tried searching for information on this, but can't find anything that has been posted in the last few years so excuse me if this is a repeated topic.

I'm travelling through the Balkans next week, and for the most part I am covered on my UK insurance.

I'm entering Serbia from Hungary, and then driving through into Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As my insurance doesn't cover me, I'll need to buy insurance at the border crossing. Does anyone have any updated pricing on how much it costs? I'm going to be in each country for less than 3 days.

I am actually covered for Bosnia on my insurance, but they want £35 for the Green Card which they can send out but don't think it'll arrive in time, plus possibly be cheaper to get it at the border.

And then on a naughty note, I have my insurance documentation as a PDF. I was thinking I could just edit it to include both countries? Has anyone ever done this?

Looking forward to your replies.

I initially bluffed my way into Bosnia with my expired green slip insurance from Australia, the guard on the other end tried to fine me $150Euro for not having insurance when exiting to Montenegro.
Fortunately he took pity on me, after waiting around for 10 minutes he stamps my passport so i could exit and says "heres a present for you" and hands me my passport.
As i enter the Montenegro border control they said i can't buy insurance at this border and i had to go back into Bosnia and go to the other border 30Km down the road.
So in short i entered Bosnia again and paid $20 Euros from memory for insurance to go 30km down the road doh

I can't comment of the editing a green card.

Have a look at this post, which I made two years ago. It explains how insurance works, what it costs, etc. in the Balkan countries.

Bosnian border insurance
 
Just crossed from Croatia at bijaca border crossing a few days ago.
Cost was 10 euro for seven days.
No fuss. Park bike walk over to office with logbook and give them ten euro for handwritten certificate valid for seven days.
