Although maybe the most obvious accessory you will need to take on your trip, it is surprising how easy it is to forget the most essential things such as your driving licence or passport.
Before you leave, always make sure you have your driving licence with you - car hire companies do not accept photocopies, it must be the real thing. You must take along your original paper licence as well as the photocard if you have a modern two part licence. Some countries (especially countries not a part of Europe) also insist all drivers carry an International Driving Permit.
Road Laws
When you are driving abroad always be sure to familiarise yourself with any local rules and restrictions. These can sometimes be very different to what you are used to when driving in your home country.
A useful checklist of things to look for:
- Different road signs and markings
- Speed limits (make sure you know if these markings are in kilometers per hour, or miles per hour)
- Parking zones
Some countries operate a zero tolerance policy towards alcohol levels in the blood, and so it is essential that you plan your journeys in advance to ensure that the driver will be able to drive legally.
