How Much Does a Green Card Cost: Price by Direction

The Green Card price is not a fixed rate — it's the result of several factors: the coverage area, the validity period, the vehicle type and the owner's details. The Green Card from GENERAL Asigurări is calculated instantly online, and the exact amount appears before payment, depending on your route and period.

Why there's no single price for the Green Card

The Green Card premium varies from one driver to another because it reflects the risk carried by your policy — the wider the coverage area and the longer the period, the greater the risk the insurer covers. That's why comparing your premium to someone else's without knowing their exact area and period doesn't make sense — two Green Card policies can cost completely different amounts even for similar cars.

The same logic explains why you won't see a price displayed next to the two available directions — Europe (all countries) or Ukraine, detailed in the article on covered countries: the direction is only one of the factors in the calculation, not the only one.

The direction you choose: Europe or Ukraine

At purchase you choose one of the two directions — Europe (all countries) or Ukraine. The direction sets the policy's coverage area and feeds directly into the premium calculation. The more destination and transit states you choose, the larger the coverage area — and, with it, the premium — grows.

This is why two drivers with the same validity period can be quoted different amounts: one covers a single destination country, the other a route with two or three transit countries. It's the area chosen in the online form, not just the final destination, that goes into the premium calculation.

There are two directions available: Europe (all countries) and Ukraine. Choose the one that matches your actual route — the direction you choose determines which codes are uncrossed on the certificate and feeds directly into the premium.

Exactly how to check these codes before departure is covered step by step in the article on directions.

The validity period

The Green Card can be bought for different periods, from short trips to more extended cover — contracts with a validity of one month or less even have their own termination rules, without prior notice. The period you choose directly affects the premium: the longer the cover lasts, the higher the premium.

Periods available in the online form: 15 days, or from 1 up to 12 months. Choose the period as close as possible to the actual length of your trip: too short a period risks expiring while you're still abroad, and too long a one raises the premium without you needing it.

Vehicle type and owner details

The premium also takes into account the type of insured vehicle and the owner's details entered in the online form. This data is entered directly in the online flow, and the system recalculates the amount automatically with every change.

How you pay for the Green Card

Regardless of the amount, the premium is paid in full, by card, before the policy is issued — there's no instalment option for the Green Card. The certificate arrives by email right after payment is confirmed, ready to print for the trip.

What you won't find on the Green Card page — and why

You won't find on the site a public rate for "Green Card for one country" or "Green Card for a year", because such a rate would be misleading — the real premium always depends on the exact combination of area, period, vehicle and owner details you enter. Any amount you hear from someone else, even for a similar route, stays an approximate reference, not your price.

That's why the online calculator is always more reliable than an estimate from memory or from a conversation with someone who already bought a policy. You can recalculate in seconds every time you change the area, the period or the vehicle details, and the amount you see is the real one for your situation.

Where to calculate the exact price

The only place to find the exact amount for your route is the GENERAL Asigurări online form you enter the vehicle and owner details, choose the coverage area and period, and the price appears instantly, before payment. Any figure read elsewhere is only indicative and may not match your actual situation.

How to prepare before calculating the price

To get the exact amount on the first try, you need a few pieces of information ready beforehand: the vehicle details from the registration certificate, your own identification details as owner, the full route (destination and transit countries) and the estimated length of the trip. With this data at hand, filling in the online calculator takes a few minutes, and the amount shown is already final for the combination chosen.

If you're not yet sure about the exact route or departure date, you can always run an indicative calculation and redo it later, once your plans are clearer — the form recalculates instantly every time you change the area or the period, at no cost and with no extra steps just to check the price.

If your route combines Ukraine with European Union countries, first work out the right direction — see the directions guide — and only then calculate the price: a wrongly chosen direction in the calculator gives a price that doesn't match your actual route.
