Car Insurance

Third-party insurance (WA) or higher is required for all motor vehicles in the Netherlands. This will cover any damages that you may cause to others with your vehicle.

Limited and comprehensive insurance policies are also available, so discuss the possibilities with an insurance agent.

Once you obtain insurance, you will receive a green card (known as the International Motor Insurance Card), which you must keep with you in your vehicle at all time. You can consult comparison sites to find the best insurance policy for your needs.

Dutch car insurance is unusual because it covers family and friends using the car without their names being added to the policy, which is useful if you want to share your car with other family members or friends.
