    COMESA Yellow Card, also known as third-party motor vehicle insurance, is a regional insurance card scheme recognized by participating states as proof of insurance coverage in accordance with the national laws or regulations governing liability for motor vehicle accidents.

    The Yellow Card Scheme Card is standard and uniform in appearance throughout the region, making it easily recognizable as a certificate of insurance at border crossing points.

    Third Party Property Damage Cover

    If the insured vehicles are transiting or visiting the territories of other participating states where liability for third-party property damage is not compulsory, the Scheme will provide additional coverage that includes liability for third-party property damage subject to the maximum limits of liability payable:

    Additional Cover: Emergency Medical Expenses Benefit

    The insurer shall, subject to the limit of indemnity, pay to the insured reasonable emergency medical expenses incurred in connection with any bodily injury by accidental, violent, external and visible means sustained by the insured or his driver or any occupants of the vehicle (as specified in the prime policy and COMESA Yellow Card) as a direct and immediate result of an accident to the insured motor vehicle while transiting and/or visiting the territories of other participating states which are parties to the Yellow Card Scheme.
