Why should I choose Sterling Green Card cover for my trip to the Balkans?
The Balkans takes its name from the Balkan mountains and is a region made up of EU and Non-EU countries. So if you’re planning on driving to, or around the region in your own vehicle – then you may want to explore Sterling’s Green Card Insurance.
Please note that it is no longer a legal requirement to have a Green Card while travelling in the Balkans and other EU regions, but it can offer peace of mind while travelling in a different country.
If the Balkans is on your travel destination bucket list, call us and we can help you with the appropriate insurance.
We can access various insurance providers to find the best deal for Green Card cover. Your vehicle must be UK-registered and we can arrange travel documents before your departure.
