Do you want to insure a vehicle temporarily, but your insurance company does not have insurance for an international certificate of insurance? Through Alpina, you can get temporary car insurance that covers the vehicle for 15 days on a Third Party Liability (TPL) basis.
15 days of coverage in Europe
With the 15-day temporary insurance, you have coverage in Europe.
Green card with temporary car insurance
Alpina issues a green card with the 15-day temporary car insurance policy. After those 15 days, coverage automatically expires. Note! The insurance does not cover damage to your own vehicle.
Getting your temporary car insurance in 5 minutes
It is possible to purchase your temporary car insurance directly online. Upon receipt of payment, you will receive the insurance certificate by e-mail. We do not accept cash payments.
Pay online
You can pay the premium directly via iDEAL. For temporary export insurance, you can pay via Paypal in addition to iDEAL.
Temporary insurance also for other vehicles
Temporary insurance is available not only for cars but also for vans, trucks and motor homes.
International certificate of insurance (green card)
With the 15-day coverage, you will receive the international certificate of insurance - the green card - immediately via e-mail (this can be done 24 hours a day and 7 days a week), and for a Dutch postal address, by mail the next working day. If desired, you can print the green card. It is not obligatory to print the international insurance certificate on green paper, but if you do not do this it can cause problems abroad. We therefore recommend that you always wait for the original international insurance certificate or, if this is not possible, print the green card on 'green card paper' (available in bookstores) or on other green paper. Tip! Arrange your temporary car insurance in good time so that you can be sure to have the green card in hand before, for example, picking up the car abroad. By the way, the effective date of the green card can be no later than 1 month in the future.
Export license plate
Unfortunately, we cannot help you apply for an export license plate.
Temporary insurance is not suitable for importing vehicles from Germany.
Experience has shown that people in Germany do not want to issue an export license plate without an EVB number. Because of this, we strongly advise against taking out this insurance when importing a vehicle from Germany.
Our insurance certificate is valid in Europe. However, experience shows that the official in Germany will not accept this certificate because it does not have an EVB number. The official will require you to purchase insurance on the spot in order to receive the export license plate.
The green card issued by Alpina on behalf of the insurance company is legally an international certificate of insurance, and should therefore be accepted as such by foreign authorities. In Germany, however, this is not done.
Cancel temporary car insurance
The insurance can be cancelled up to the effective date of coverage, provided it is on a business day and notified before 5:00 pm. If the policyholder has or has enjoyed coverage, this green card cannot be cancelled through the right of withdrawal.
Instant coverage
Temporary insurance can be calculated and taken out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you calculate a premium through our website and take out the insurance, in most cases you get immediate provisional coverage.
