Green Card Insurance: Activation Time

CRITICAL: Green Card Activation Timing

Green Card is mandatory vehicle insurance for all cars. Important to know:

When does it become active?
Insurance purchased TODAY will only become active TOMORROW at 00:00.

This rule applies to all types of purchase:

  • Online purchase (active tomorrow)
  • Insurance company office (active tomorrow)
  • Kiosk near the border (active tomorrow)

What to do?

  • Buy Green Card 1-2 days before your trip online
  • Use your existing policy (if not expired)
  • NOT recommended: buying at border kiosk (too late)
This is not a technical error — it's an EU insurance law.
Plan one day ahead! Without valid Green Card you cannot cross the border.

User Reviews

Chop (Tysa) checkpoint receives highly polarized reviews with stark contrasts between positive and negative experiences. Most reviews (6 out of 8) rate it 1-2 stars, citing extremely long wait times and inefficient processing. Users report experiencing 5-15 hour crossings despite relatively small queues of 20-25 vehicles, with particular frustration directed at Hungarian side operations. One reviewer noted only 2 working windows on the Hungarian side processing 1 vehicle in 40-60 minutes, while another reported being processed at a rate of 6 vehicles at a time. The checkpoint appears to have significant bottlenecks on the Hungarian border crossing. However, two 5-star reviews suggest occasional smooth passages are possible, with one user reporting crossing both borders in approximately 50 minutes. Wait times vary dramatically from 50 minutes to 15 hours depending on conditions and timing. Key patterns indicate bottlenecks primarily occur on the Hungarian side, potentially caused by understaffing or procedural delays that create cascading delays even on the Ukrainian side.
