Do I need a green card to drive my own car in Britain?

What you need to know
Carry whatever proof your insurer and official guidance require.
A green card is evidence of insurance; it does not create cover where none exists.
Check the latest GOV.UK guidance shortly before travelling because international insurance arrangements can change.
Need short-term car insurance?
If you are eligible and need temporary cover, you can compare available short-term insurance quotes and check the territorial limits of the policy offered before you buy.
