Call the Accident Care service of GP Insurance 24 hours a day at +30 2109904089 and an authorized associate will arrive at the scene of the accident, photograph the vehicles involved in the accident, help you to fill out the Accident Statement Form and assist you in properly completing the Amicable Settlement Form.

What is an Amicable Settlement of damages?
It is the Immediate Payment System for Damages caused by Road Accidents, according to which in the event of a road accident in Greece, the driver who is not responsible or who is 50% responsible for the accident has the right to be indemnified by his insurance company, for material damage (up to €6,500) and/or personal injury (up to €30,000 in total and up to €12,000 per person). This requires the vehicles to be insured by insurance companies participating in the Immediate Payment System.
More information can be found here.
If I am involved in an accident with an uninsured vehicle, will I be indemnified and how?
You are directly indemnified by GP Insurance. The maximum indemnity amount for material damage to the vehicle is €30,000.
In order for the indemnity process to be activated, the following conditions must be met:
- The accident must have occurred within the Greek territory.
- The classification of the uninsured vehicle must be proven by an official public document (Traffic Incident Report Extract).
- The responsibility for the accident must lie solely with the driver of the uninsured vehicle.
What should I do if I have an accident abroad?
If you are involved in an accident abroad, call the Accident Care service of GP Insurance at +302109904089. Please be informed that on the back side of your Green Card you will find all the details of the International Insurance Offices in the countries participating in the Green Card System.
If you are responsible for the accident, give the other driver a copy of your green card or your insurance policy.
If you are not responsible for the accident and are claiming indemnity, make sure to get and maintain the full details of the insurance coverage of the vehicle that hit you, and ask the other driver to make a statement to his insurance company, which you must contact regarding your claim, if your vehicle needs repairing while you are abroad. If the accident, for which you are not responsible, has occurred in a country outside the EU, you can claim your indemnity when you return to Greece, by contacting the Information Center with the damage representatives of the insurance companies of EU member states or the Motor Insurance Bureau if the foreign company has not appointed a representative in Greece.
The process is taken over by the Claims Department of GP Insurance.
In which countries am I covered with the Green Card?
Today, 45 countries participate in this System with corresponding International Insurance Offices, which have signed International Agreements among themselves regulating the proper implementation and functioning of the System. Internal Regulations (Règlement Général) is the latest agreement, which was put into effect on 7/1/2003, replacing all previous agreements, the Uniform Agreement and the Multilateral Guarantee Agreement. The system is coordinated by a supreme non-governmental body recognized by the UN. And, under the instructions of the EU, the Council of Bureaux.
