International Green Card

Available as an optional add-on covering both vehicle and persons from km 0. Includes emergency repair, towing up to 150 km, hotel accommodation, replacement vehicle (motorbike or car), spare parts delivery, medical evacuation and repatriation.

Covers death, absolute permanent disability (capital set in particular conditions), partial disability (per schedule), medical assistance for 365 days (limit in particular conditions), helmet and clothing damage up to 300 EUR, and home adaptation costs up to 10,000 EUR.
Passenger/occupant accident insurance

Daily benefit excluded for persons under 16 or over 70 years.
Key conditions
Driver restrictions
Coverage is excluded (though insurer must still pay third parties up to mandatory limits and then recover) for: driving without a valid licence; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs above legal limits; wilful damage by the policyholder, insured or driver; abandonment of the accident scene. Injuries or death of the at-fault driver are explicitly excluded from RC; the driver must purchase a separate accident policy.
Claim notification deadline
The policyholder or insured must notify Pelayo of any claim within a maximum of seven days of becoming aware of it. Notice must also be given of any judicial, extrajudicial or administrative notification received in connection with the claim.
Bonus-malus rules
The premium is adjusted at each annual renewal based on the number of claims reported in the prior 12-month period (excluding claims without injuries where a third party's insurer has accepted liability). Claims history from the past five years can be certified for use with other EEA insurers.
Territorial scope
Spain, Andorra, EU member states, and countries adhering to the Green Card system; within the EEA/multilateral guarantee convention, mandatory liability limits apply (or Spanish limits if higher)
Exclusions
