Countries fall into a few categories with regards to insurance requirements:

* '''Nothing Required:''' The country has no insurance requirements, and presumably you are on your own if you are involved in an accident.
* '''Mandatory to purchase:''' You will be forced to buy some form of local insurance in the country (usually at the border), irrelevant of any other insurance you may have.
* '''Covered by International insurance:''' You can use International insurance you may have.

'''NOTE:''' Some Overlanders prefer to purchase International insurance before leaving home - this is often extremely expensive and cost prohibitive, so many people give it a miss.

'''CONTINENT SPECIFIC:'''
Majority of the African countries are covered by two consortiums, namely, Ecowas Brown Card and the Comesa Yellow Card.
