You may have noticed that here at Hagerty we love to use our classics, and we encourage all of our policyholders to drive their vehicles as much as they can.
We also know how much fun a European tour can be, either to an event such as Le Mans, a show such as Techno Classica or just a leisurely jaunt to a destination of your choice.
All of our annual classic policies come with 90 days European touring cover as standard, and this won’t change after Brexit.
However, if you are planning a trip to the Continent after 29 March, other regulations will change. This guide highlights the key changes and will hopefully prevent you falling foul of any problems.
The Green Card
From 29 March, regardless of whether there is a deal or no deal, it is expected that any travel into Europe by car or bike will require a Green Card.
This will replace the European Certificates of Insurance that have traditionally been issued from UK insurance companies who have an agreement with the EU to allow UK citizens to travel under one simple certificate of insurance. The certificate will now be replaced by a European Green Card.
Essentially, this will be a letter of confirmation that the bearer of the paper has an insurance policy in place with a UK insurance company, although the actual language for these new Green Cards is still unknown.
