Car owners with dutch number plates, who want to go with the LS4 trailer through Germany, Spain or Poland, need to have a separate green card from their car insurance company.
This new rule is applicable to all trailers with more that 750kg total weight. The important figure is the total mass (trailer + load) indicated in the trailer registration document (kentekenbewijs). It does not matter if the actual weight (trailer empty weight + load) is below 750kg. As soon as the trailer is capable to exceed the total mass of 750kg, the additional green card is needed. The LS4 trailer is registered to a maximum total mass of 850kg.
The green card will be provided by your car insurance for no additional cost.
Important:
The green card is only valid for the car it has been asked for (bounded to the cars number plate). This is due to the fact that the trailer is insured via the car. If there is a second car, which is also planned for pulling the trailer, then this one needs a separate green card bounded to its insurance/ number plate.
