The Scheme

The Yellow Card is essentially a Regional third party motor vehicle insurance Scheme that provides third party legal liability cover and compensation for medical expenses resulting from road traffic accidents caused by visiting motorists. Besides offering third party liability protection to the insured or the driver whilst in a foreign country, the COMESA Yellow Card Scheme also offers emergency medical cover to the driver and passengers of the foreign motor vehicle involved in the traffic accident. The third party liability cover offered is limited to the statute provisions on road traffic third party liability award limits of that country being visited and in which the incident has happened from.
