Yes, mandatory traffic insurance in one EU country gives you coverage for all Green Card countries.

You may need to specifically request the paper Green Card though, they won't always print it automatically.

Has anyone recently done a crossing from Turkey into Europe? If yes, can you share the prices for motorbikes for 3 and 6 months?

Many thanks!

Here are the prices bellow:

Türkiye Turing ve Otomobil Kurumu

In any case you pay less you for sure will know that it was a fake one, which happens at Turkish border on yearly base often, amounting to 60-70 mln eur losses for the insurers.

Have fun.

Cheers
Dooby

Hi Guys,

I know this thread is a bit old but i shipped my Australian plated car over to europe and am looking for cheap green card insurance , is the Bulgarian border insurance still as cheap? I've checked mototouring and uci which are around 400 euros for 180 days, i still feel like theres cheaper options out there, logabola is charging 790 Euros for 90 days which is just insane. Would appreciate any input.

Thanks

Still available?

Hi,
I’m a Swedish citizen crossing from Turkey to Bulgaria on my Hong Kong registered bike in about a month time. Is the green card insurance still possible to buy on the Bulgarian side?

I would recommend you check the customs requirements as well - once you hit the EU border, your bike may be considered to be permanently imported, as it's owned and being ridden by an EU citizen. You might need to do customs paperwork and pay duties or a customs deposit until you get it plated in Sweden (if you can at all). Best to check that in advance.

Thanks Grant! I checked with Moto Camp and this is what they said:

“Hey, thanks for contacting us. We can help, but also I recommend to buy it at the border if you are entering from Turkey to Bulgaria - easier and cheaper as well. If not, I will need an address where to send it and copy of your passport and copy of motorcycle registration.”
