The Green Card is a mandatory insurance policy for international travel with vehicles registered in Mercosur countries, excluding the country where the vehicle was rented. It is essential for protecting third parties in the event of traffic accidents during the rental period and is issued by authorized insurance providers.
For rental vehicles, the Green Card must be requested through the rental company responsible for the vehicle, which may issue the document directly or through a partner insurance provider.
When requesting the Green Card:
Be sure to confirm the issuance of the Green Card, as well as all associated fees and costs, with the rental company responsible for the vehicle at least 3 days before the pick-up date.
The Green Card is issued by authorized insurance providers, and issuance procedures may vary depending on the rental company and partner insurer.
Important:
Please note that Green Card insurance does not replace the need for specific authorization to cross international borders. Authorization for international vehicle use must be verified directly with the rental company responsible for the reservation.
Failure to present the Green Card when requested by the relevant authorities may result in fines, travel restrictions, or other penalties under local law.
