IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MOTORISTS ENTERING HUNGARY FROM UKRAINE

As a provisional and extraordinary measure to facilitate the entry of refugees to Hungary, the Managing Board of MABISZ has decided to put a significant discount on the frontier insurance premium of personal cars normally based in Ukraine. The discounted premium was in applicable between 03/03/2022 and 31/07/2022.   

The most convenient way for entering the territory of Hungary with Ukrainian registered vehicles is to take out insurance with one of the Ukrainian insurance companies that issue a Green Card. This is possible also online.

Lacking a Ukrainian Green Card, it is still possible to purchase Hungarian frontier insurance according to the general rules described above. 

In case a motorist intends to operate a Ukrainian registered vehicle in Hungary for a longer period of time, it is recommended to register the vehicle in Hungary with a Hungarian license plate and insure it with Hungarian insurance companies.

ВАЖЛИВА ІНФОРМАЦІЯ ДЛЯ АВТОМОБІЛІСТІВ, ЩО В’ЇЗДЯТЬ В УГОРЩИНУ З УКРАЇНИ

Як тимчасовий і надзвичайний захід для полегшення в’їзду біженців до Угорщини, Правління MABISZ вирішило зробити значну знижку на страхову премію прикордонного страхування особистих автомобілів, які зазвичай перебувають в Україні. Знижена премія діяла з 03.03.2022 по 31.07.2022.

Найзручнішим способом в’їзду на територію Угорщини на автомобілях з українською реєстрацією є оформлення страховки в одній з українських страхових компаній, які видають Зелену карту. Це можливо також онлайн.

Без української зеленої карти все ще можна придбати страховку на кордоні Угорщини за загальними правилами, описаними вище.

У випадку, якщо автомобіліст має намір експлуатувати транспортний засіб з українською реєстрацією в Угорщині протягом тривалого часу, рекомендується зареєструвати транспортний засіб в Угорщині на угорських номерах і застрахувати його в угорських страхових компаніях.
