Greece overseas insurance FAQ

License plate

If you buy a car in Greece, the local civilian license plate stays on the vehicle and transfers to you.

You can get new license plates for imported vehicles through:

  • A U.S. military motor vehicle registration office.
  • A U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate.

Report your license plate number on usaa.com or the mobile app or call us as soon as you have it. Failure to do so could result in a fine and seizure of your vehicle.

Greek law requires us to report your license plate number to a vehicle registration database. Local police forces and insurers use the database to verify coverage.

Proof of insurance
We’ll send you a Greek registration document, or Greek badge, to use as your proof of insurance while driving in Greece.

You’re not required to carry proof of insurance in your vehicle, but you should keep a copy handy in case of an accident.

If you need an international motor insurance card for travel outside of Greece, contact us at least 2 weeks in advance.

Yes. Taxes are charged on all auto insurance policies in Greece:

  • Insurance Premium Tax
  • Motor Fire Premium Tax
  • Motor Guarantee Fund

Refer to your declarations documents for details.

Your auto coverage

If you’re shipping your car, keep your overseas policy until it arrives. Then we can help you transfer your coverage to a stateside policy. You just need to contact us USAA contact us page.

If you’re not taking your car, remove your name from the registration and your insurance papers from the car. After that, you can cancel the policy. You’ll need to pay a premium for any coverage you’ve received.

Your renters coverage

Keep your overseas policy while your stuff is in shipment. That way you still have protection for any covered losses on the way.

When you and your stuff are back in the U.S., we can help transfer your policy. When you’re ready, contact us USAA contact us page.

Before you drive

  • Most countries will require you to complete an accident report form. In your vehicle, you should carry a blank copy of the European Accident Statement.
  • Many countries require you to have warning triangles, reflective vests and a first-aid kit in case of an accident. Check local driving regulations to find out more.
  • Keep a copy of your green card handy as proof of insurance.

At the scene of the accident

  • Dial 112 for emergency service in Europe. You may need to contact the police if there are injuries, you're in a hit-and-run, or the other party is uncooperative and at fault.
  • Don't sign anything except the European Accident Statement. This lets each driver explain what happened but doesn't assign blame.
  • Take pictures of the accident scene and damaged vehicles, including license plates. If possible, get the other driver’s name, driver’s license number, address and phone number. Also get the name of their insurance carrier, policy number and vehicle registration.
  • Use a translation app to help communicate in the local language.
  • In a one-car incident, find the owner of any damaged property to complete a report. If you can’t find them, leave a note at the scene and report it at the nearest police station.

Filing a claim after an accident

You can file a claim on the USAA Mobile App. Or you can file online on the USAA Claims main page. As soon as possible, contact a USAA claims representative.
