But what exactly is behind it, and why is it so important? Let’s delve into the world of the Green Card and shed light on everything you need to know about it.
The Importance of the DEVk Green Card
Imagine you’re planning a road trip through the picturesque landscapes of France. You’ve packed your car, the itinerary is set, but wait! Have you thought about the Green Card? This unassuming card is your key to worry-free driving abroad. It serves as proof of your motor vehicle liability insurance and guarantees that in the event of an accident, the opposing party is covered.

But the Green Card is more than just a piece of paper. It represents trust and security in international road traffic. It allows you to fully enjoy your vacation without having to worry about financial risks in the event of an accident.
Everything Important About the Green Card
The Green Card, also known as the “International Motor Insurance Card,” is mandatory in many countries outside of Germany. It is issued by your insurance company, in this case DEVk, and confirms the validity of your motor vehicle liability insurance abroad.
Why do I need the Green Card?
The Green Card is important because it:
- Ensures rapid assistance in the event of damage: In the event of an accident abroad, it significantly simplifies claims processing.
- Serves as international proof of insurance: It is recognized by authorities abroad and confirms your coverage.
- Saves you from legal consequences: Without a Green Card, you risk heavy fines or even the confiscation of your vehicle abroad.
