Do you need supplementary car insurance driving a EU-insured car in Jersey?

Question

I am thinking about bringing my EU registered car for a day-trip in Jersey, Channel Islands.

Answer 1

Information on the JerseySafeRoads website states:

Visiting motorists are required to be in possession of a current driving licence (not provisional) and insurance certificate.

The Jersey government’s Travel and Transport page (which I think is aimed at expats but seems applicable to visitors too), says:

When driving in Jersey, you’ll need to have the following documents on you when you’re driving (photocopies are not acceptable):

• a certificate of insurance or an International Green Card
• a valid driving licence or International Driving Permit (IDP).

If you want to double-check, you can contact the relevant Green Card Bureau.
