OVERSEAS INSURANCE FOR Greece

Local civilian license plates in Greece remain on the vehicle for transfer to the new owner when the car is sold. 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

Important: Report your license plate number on usaa.com or the USAA Mobile App or call us as soon as you have it. Greek law requires USAA to report your license plate number to a vehicle registration database used by local police forces and insurers to verify coverage. Failure to do so could result in a fine and seizure of your vehicle.

Greece doesn't require you to carry proof of insurance in your vehicle, but you should still have an accessible copy in case of an accident.

Traveling outside of Greece: If you require an International Motor Insurance Card for travel outside of Greece, please contact us at least two weeks in advance.

Taxes in Greece are charged on all auto insurance policies:

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

Refer to your declarations documents for more information.

A discount may be available on your auto insurance policy for vehicles in storage.^{See note1} You can declare your vehicle in storage online or by contacting us.

A UST policy provides protections for you when you're driving a borrowed or rental vehicle in the U.S. while you're stationed overseas. These protections include bodily injury liability, property damage liability and uninsured motorist coverage. Contact us to purchase this policy.

Be prepared

1. Most countries may require you to complete an accident report form. In your vehicle, you should carry a blank copy of the European Accident Statement will open a new window.
2. European countries may require or recommend you have warning triangles, reflective vests and a first-aid kit in case of an accident. Check local driving regulations to find out more.
3. Keep a copy of your Green Card handy as proof of insurance.

At the scene of an accident

1. Dial 112 for emergency service in Europe. You may be required to contact the police when injuries or serious accidents are involved, if you're in a hit-and-run, or if the other party is uncooperative and at fault for the accident.
2. Don't sign anything except the European Accident Statement, which allows each driver to explain what happened but doesn't assign blame.
3. Take pictures of the accident scene and damaged vehicles, including license plates. If possible, get the following details from the other driver: name, driver's license number, address and phone number, insurance carrier, policy number and vehicle registration.
4. Use a translation app to assist with communicating in the local language.
5. In a one-car incident, find the owner of any damaged property to complete a report. If none can be found, leave a note at the scene, and report it at the nearest police station.

After an accident

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

Once you've removed your name from the vehicle registration and taken all the insurance documents out of the vehicle, you can cancel insurance any time. But you must pay a premium for any coverage you've received. If you're shipping your vehicle to the U.S., you'll need to keep it covered by your Greek policy until it arrives.

You'll need to transfer your coverage to a stateside policy. When your vehicle arrives at port in the U.S., contact USAA.
