Car insurance in Italy for Ukrainians: do I need to take out a local policy?

The Responsabilità Civile Auto is mandatory for Ukrainians who have re-registered their cars and obtained Italian licence plates or purchased a new car in Italy.

However, cars with Ukrainian licence plates are not required to take out the mandatory Italian motor third party liability insurance.

In turn, drivers of such cars are required to have a valid Green Card insurance policy.

The Green Card is an international insurance policy for motorists. If you have ever driven your own car out of Ukraine, you know that this policy is mandatory for crossing the border. However, it is also valid in Italy. The main thing is to keep track of the policy's validity and renew it in time.

If you have a valid Green Card insurance policy, you do not need to take out additional Italian insurance. Remember that the Green Card is valid not only in Italy and Ukraine, but also in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, so you will be under reliable insurance protection even when travelling to other countries.
