car lending
anyone know what the legal side of things are if a Hungarian friend lends me a car in Hungary is it the same as if I was Hungarian or does it matter that I am classed as only visiting
Also what would be the rule on traveling outside Hungary to other EU countries if the car has a green card insurance or is it just the owner that is covered by the green card

Re: car lending
All car insurance in Hungary is any driver. You would have to check with the insurance company about driving outside Hungary. To avoid problems if you get a roadside check you need a loan document between the owner and the borrower.

Re: car lending
I advise to be very careful here, would be horrible to run into problems!
We had a similar discussion some time ago where I told my story:
I gave my Car with German licence plates to my Hungarian son in law who was stopped here by Hungarian police and the wanted to fine him and take the car away!
The cop only relented when he saw the wife's shock and the baby in the back seat and told the young man:
That "loan agreement" from the car's owner can only be valid for 24 hours - to take the car to a repair shop etc ...
So the easiest way for you would be to have your father in law sign a lot of these papers and for every day you need the car put in the date ...
Then he let them go on their way.
In the end we solved this by me "selling" the car to him - it took some time and a lot of paperwork, but was no problem - the car wasn't to old (an Astra station wagon, very common here).
