How Much Does a Green Card Cost in Kyiv Today?
As of February 2025, the cost of a green card in Kyiv has changed significantly due to new legislation in Ukraine. Previously, green card rates were set by the Motor (Transport) Insurance Bureau of Ukraine (MTIBU) and were the same for all insurance companies. However, since January 2025 free pricing has been introduced, which allows insurers to set the price of policies themselves based on internal risk assessment criteria and market factors. In general, the cost of a green card in Kyiv may depend on:
- Type of vehicle. The price of a green card will differ for cars, motorcycles, lorries and buses.
- Policy term. The minimum term of a green card is 15 days, the maximum is 1 year. The longer the term, the more expensive the policy.
- Country of travel. For some countries the cost of a green card may be higher because of an increased risk of road accidents.
- Driving experience. The number of past accidents can affect the insurance company’s trust in the car owner and influence the price of a green card in Kyiv.
Other changes in legislation
From 1 January 2025 a green card takes effect only the day after it is issued. This means that drivers should plan in advance to buy a policy before travelling abroad.
In addition, an electronic format of green card certificates has been introduced. From now on drivers can present the insurance certificate in digital form, storing it, for example, as a file on a smartphone or another gadget. However, expert Darya Hrobach stresses: “It is recommended to print the policy to comply with local legislation.”
Tips for choosing a green card
- Compare prices. Before buying a green card for a car in Kyiv, it is worth comparing prices at several insurance companies to choose the most advantageous option.
- Check the reputation. Choose an insurer with a good reputation and experience on the market.
- Read the terms of the contract carefully. Before signing the contract, be sure to read all the insurance terms to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future.
Today many insurance companies offer the option of getting a green card in Kyiv online. This is convenient and fast, because you can get a policy without leaving home. However, be careful and check the authenticity of the insurance company’s website so as not to become a victim of fraudsters.
Remember that without a green card, leaving the country by car is impossible. The lack of a green card can lead to a fine and a ban on entering the country. Therefore, it is worth taking care of this document in advance so that your trip is safe for your budget and comfortable for you.
