Car insurance for entering Georgia with foreign plates

Georgia (the country in the Caucasus, not the U.S. state) · Updated: 07.09.2026

This page is about Georgia (the country in the Caucasus, not the U.S. state). Since 1 March 2018 every vehicle registered abroad must carry Georgian compulsory third-party liability insurance for the whole stay. Green Card is not valid in Georgia, and neither is any foreign motor policy. A passenger car policy costs from 60 GEL for 15 days and can be bought online before you reach the border.

What the law requires

The owner or driver of a foreign-registered car, motorcycle, bus, truck, trailer or special vehicle must insure civil liability on entry. Driving without the policy is an administrative offence with a fine of 100–200 GEL, and the uninsured driver pays all damage caused to others out of pocket. Limits are fixed by law and identical at every seller: 30,000 GEL per victim and 300,000 GEL per event for injury or death, 25,000 GEL per victim and 50,000 GEL per event for property damage. Damage to your own vehicle is not covered. Source: the Compulsory Insurance Center (tpl.ge), checked on 2026-09-07.

Terms are 15, 30, 90 days or one year. Passenger car: 60 GEL / 15 days, 100 GEL / 30 days, 180 GEL / 90 days, 395 GEL / year. Motorcycle from 40 GEL, truck from 120 GEL, trailer from 28 GEL (a trailer needs its own policy). The price includes the policy and our service; there are no extra fees at the border.

How it works

You enter the plate number, VIN, make and model, the policyholder's passport details and choose the start date. Payment by any bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay; the policy PDF arrives by e-mail, usually within 59 minutes during working hours (Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00 Tbilisi time). The policy is electronic and is checked by plate number at the border and on the road, so no printout is needed. Please note: the checkout is in Russian; support is available in Russian and English at a1@100doc.ge.

FAQ

Is my Green Card valid in Georgia?

No. Georgia (the country) is not part of the Green Card system, so a European or Turkish Green Card has no effect there. You need a Georgian compulsory policy for foreign-registered vehicles.

How much does the compulsory insurance cost?

From 60 GEL for a passenger car for 15 days, 395 GEL for a year. Motorcycles are cheaper, trucks and buses cost more.

What does the policy cover?

Your liability to other people: 30,000 GEL per victim and 300,000 GEL per event for injury or death, 25,000 GEL per victim and 50,000 GEL per event for property damage. Damage to your own car is not covered.

Can I buy the policy at the border instead?

Yes, there are sales offices at the border crossings, but they have their own queues. Buying online takes a few minutes and the policy is already in the database by the time you reach the checkpoint.

Do I need a paper copy?

No. The policy is linked to your plate number and checked electronically. A PDF on your phone is enough.

I am already in Georgia without insurance — can I buy it now?

Yes, the policy can be issued online at any time and starts on the date you choose, including today. It does not work retroactively, so the sooner the better.

Is the checkout available in English?

The order form is in Russian; the fields are simple (plate, VIN, passport, dates). Support answers in English at a1@100doc.ge.
