Damage claim / damage inspection
The Green card shows that the car has valid third‑party liability insurance in Sweden and is valid in countries covered by the Green Card agreement. In some countries it is mandatory to carry the card. If you bring a trailer or caravan, the trailer’s registration number must be stated on the card. Order your Green card here.

Service before traveling

When planning a long trip, it is your responsibility as the driver to ensure that the car has been serviced according to the prescribed service interval. You may need to book a service appointment before the notification appears in the car. A long journey may be a valid reason to receive approval for service earlier than the regular interval — speak with your technician.

Tyres and environmental regulations

Many cities require an environmental sticker (see above).
Studded tyres are prohibited in large parts of Europe. Check the regulations for each country.

Equipment required in many countries

Reflective vest – must be kept in the car and easily accessible from the driver’s seat.
Warning triangle – mandatory throughout Europe. Fines may be issued if it is missing.

Prevent theft and break‑ins

Never leave valuables visible
Always lock the car and close the windows.
Empty the car when staying overnight.
Avoid remote or poorly lit parking areas.

Mobile use

Holding a mobile phone while driving is prohibited in most European countries.
Hands‑free use is allowed.
In Spain, headphones are forbidden — the phone must be connected to the car’s speakers.
Fines may be issued for violations.
