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

Ustyluh checkpoint receives overwhelmingly negative feedback with a consistent 1/5 rating across all reviews. Users report severe organizational and infrastructure issues that significantly impact their border crossing experience. The most critical complaint involves extremely long wait times, with multiple reviewers mentioning queues of 40-400+ vehicles during midday hours (around 13:00), resulting in 2+ hour waits. Infrastructure deficiencies are widely cited, including the complete absence of toilet facilities and trash bins, creating uncomfortable conditions during extended waits. Several reviews highlight concerning allegations of corruption, with young men allegedly approaching travelers and offering to expedite passage for 100 PLN in exchange for bypassing the queue. One reviewer describes a frustrating incident where border officials made a directional error, forcing a driver to the back of the queue after waiting 2 hours with no recourse or explanation. Users express deep frustration with the lack of professionalism and humanity in checkpoint operations, describing the conditions as shameful and reflecting poorly on Ukrainian border management. These reviews suggest systematic problems requiring urgent attention to infrastructure, staff training, and anti-corruption measures.
