Claim with foreign vehicle involved

This is what applies when a foreign vehicle is involved in a traffic accident in Sweden or abroad.

You were travelling with a Swedish insured vehicle

Report the claim to the insurance company that issued the vehicle’s insurance, regardless of whether it is a comprehensive, partial or motor third party liability (MTPL) insurance policy.

You were travelling with an uninsured vehicle

Report the claim to us.

You were travelling with a foreign vehicle

Report the claim to the foreign vehicle’s insurance company.

You were run into when cycling or walking

It depends in which country the accident occurred. Report the claim to us if the accident occurred in a country within the Green Card system. If the claim was incurred in a country outside the Green Card system, such as Thailand or the USA, you may be able to get help through your home, travel and/or accident insurance. Contact your insurance company for more information.

A foreign vehicle has damaged property in Sweden

If a foreign vehicle has caused damage to your property, for example a fence or letterbox, you can report the claim to us.

Are you unsure about what applies?

Finding out what applies regarding claims abroad is not always simple. Contact us if you have been involved in a traffic accident abroad or with a foreign vehicle and the information on this page has not given you the answer you need. We can help you to find out what applies in your particular case.

Information centre

As a member of the EU Sweden must have an information centre. The information centre is responsible for ensuring that a person affected by a claim can find out where the vehicle that caused the claim is insured for third party liability (or the equivalent of motor third party liability insurance). 

In Sweden it is Swedish Motor Insurers (TFF) that is the information centre. This means for example that we help information centres in other countries to find out where Swedish vehicles have their motor third party liability insurance. We also help to find out where foreign vehicles are insured.
