Driving Abroad
To drive abroad requires a valid driver’s licence. If you’ve a photo card licence you’ll also have to take the paper counterpart with you. Check that your auto insurance covers you for the countries you plan to drive in & that you have the original certificate to take with you. You must have your passport with you when driving. Drivers who are not European passport holders may need additional documents such as an international drivers licence to drive whilst in Europe.
When driving in Spain and some other countries you need an extra pair of glasses or contact lenses, if you need to wear them to drive with. In some countries, you need an international driving permit, which you can get from the post office in your country of origin.
It is a good idea to make sure that your breakdown cover covers you for all of the countries you will travel through, and to carry those documents with you in your car. If you are stopped and fined, in most European countries, you must pay the fine on the spot in cash or pay a larger fine, so it is wise to carry some cash. Some police officers are sympathetic and will allow you to drive to a local cash-point, but not all.
Carry your vehicle’s MOT or test certificate, a credit card, an insurance green card, travel insurance documents and your EHIC health card or travel insurance with you when driving. Write out a list of emergency contact numbers. That way if your cell phone, passport or credit cards are lost or stolen you will be able to get them cancelled and/or replaced.
You will also need an extra set of lights, two warning triangles, high VIS jackets for each person in the car, a first aid kit, spare fuses, a fire extinguisher, a GB or country of origin sticker, headlamp converters, a spare tyre & equipment to change tyres & in some countries, a towrope. This list isn’t exhaustive, so look up the requirements for each country that you plan to drive through.
