Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

Green Card is mandatory vehicle insurance for all cars. Important to know:

When does it become active?
Insurance purchased TODAY will only become active TOMORROW at 00:00.

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

  • Online purchase (active tomorrow)
  • Insurance company office (active tomorrow)
  • Kiosk near the border (active tomorrow)

What to do?

  • Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online
  • Use your existing policy (if not expired)
  • NOT recommended: buying at border kiosk (too late)
This is not a technical error — it's an EU insurance law.
Plan one day ahead! Without valid Green Card you cannot cross the border.

User Reviews

The Mayaky — Udobne checkpoint experiences mixed conditions according to recent user feedback. One notable pattern is the bridge operating in reverse mode during certain periods, which may affect traffic flow and routing options. Users have reported being redirected from Palanky to Starокozachе, suggesting capacity constraints or temporary closures at preferred crossing points. Wait times vary considerably, with reports of approximately one hour at the nearby Ruse bridge, indicating potential congestion during peak periods. The sentiment reflects frustration with operational constraints and redirects, though some users maintain positive ratings despite challenges. Travelers heading to this checkpoint should be prepared for possible delays of up to an hour and potential rerouting to alternative crossings. It is advisable to check real-time conditions before attempting to cross, particularly if planning to use the bridge route. The mixed ratings suggest that experience quality depends heavily on time of day and current operational status.
