Learn About Overseas Vehicle Insurance Coverage
Key Takeaways
Overseas insurance needs depend on where you live and what you drive
Living abroad often means your U.S. coverage will not apply or will not meet local requirements. Start by confirming the country rules and what type of vehicle coverage you need.
Look for coverage built for military, government, and expat life
This topic is most relevant for people stationed or working overseas who need compliant auto coverage and a straightforward way to manage insurance while outside the U.S.
Plan ahead so you are covered the day you arrive
Getting insurance in place early helps avoid gaps, registration delays, and last-minute surprises. Keep proof of coverage and key policy details accessible for local authorities or base requirements.
New Language, New Food, New Insurance
You know that GEICO's the best when it comes to insurance here in the States, but did you know that we have partners who can help keep you covered while you're abroad?
Most standard insurance policies written in the US will not cover your vehicles or belongings once you leave the country and unfortunately, "I couldn't understand the sign!" won't get you off the hook if you have an accident.
What is overseas insurance?
Overseas insurance is insurance for your car, motorcycle, and personal property that's available while you are living outside of the United States.
If you're moving abroad, whether with the military, government, or as an expat, GEICO Insurance Agency has multiple carrier partners that can help take the hassle out of getting international car insurance, motorcycle insurance, and personal property insurance coverage.
Coverage is available to members of the military, government employees, expatriates and third-country nationals. Eligibility restrictions may apply in some countries.
What does an overseas insurance policy cover?
Trying to figure out which coverages you want and need in a foreign language might seem about as straightforward as learning all of the dialects of Swahili. That's where we come in.
Policies vary from country to country but in most locations you can purchase coverage for liability, comprehensive, and collision. Coverage does not extend to other people's vehicles or any vehicles used for business.
