All European countries and some others are participants of the Green Card System (International Motor Insurance Certificate). The Green Card or the insurance certificate issued by the insurer constitutes is proving third party insurance. An insurance policy may be enlarged and include insurance against fire, theft, special assistance and more.
There are two basic types of policy accessible in Cyprus: third party and comprehensive. Third party covers the driver’s liability to his passengers and other people affected by an accident.

Comprehensive insurance usually is more expensive and it also covers the driver's damages and compensation whether they are responsible or not.
