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

Porubne checkpoint experiences mixed user sentiment with significant wait time variability. Users consistently report that the Romanian side moves very slowly, with wait times ranging from 30 minutes to 3+ hours depending on time of day and traffic volume. Early morning crossings (5-6 AM) are recommended to avoid long queues. The Ukrainian side typically processes faster (15-30 minutes). A major recurring issue is the Ruse Bridge repair with reversible traffic that causes bottlenecks and unpredictable delays. Users report that Romanian customs officers process vehicles one at a time, unlike Polish officers, making the exit slower. Several reviewers note that the checkpoint lacks a veterinarian on the Romanian side, which creates complications for pet travel despite Ukraine having one. Traffic patterns show this crossing is significantly more congested than the nearby Dyakivtsi checkpoint. Users advise allocating 3-4 hours total crossing time, with particular emphasis on very long waits on hot summer days.
