World Tourism Day – Speedyreg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s World Tourism Day and the weather here is getting\ncooler, so many of us are starting to think that it\u2019s about time we had a\nholiday! Perhaps you\u2019re planning to jet off to some far-flung destination, but\nmaybe you love a driving holiday touring Europe, perhaps camping or staying in\nbeautiful hotels. With Britain leaving the EU on October 31st<\/sup>, there\nwill be some changes to the way in which we travel throughout Europe, so if\nyou\u2019re looking to get out there and take your personalised number plates over to\nFrance and beyond, you\u2019ll need to be prepared. But don\u2019t panic, your days of\ndriving across Europe aren\u2019t over, there are just going to be a few more things\nyou need to do in preparation for your road trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is yet set in stone so do check the government\nwebsite regularly for any news but so far these are the steps you\u2019ll need to\ntake\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your International driving Permits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s likely you will need a permit to drive within European countries. You may need more than one permit if you\u2019re travelling to more than country. Bear in mind that you may need a permit for a country even if you\u2019re just crossing a border and back again a few miles later, so check your route carefully so you don\u2019t get caught out. You\u2019ll need to carry your UK driving license with you of course. If you\u2019re driving in Ireland, you won\u2019t need an International Driving Permit if you have a UK license. Also consider hiring a motorhome as they afford you an incredible amount of freedom for your travel and hiring a luxury motorhome like the Zefiro 696<\/a> makes it affordable too so it’s an ideal solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your motor insurance green card<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also need a motor insurance green card which you can obtain from your vehicle insurance provider a month before you set off on your holiday. Under some circumstances you will need more than one green card. You\u2019ll need a green card for both your main vehicle, and anything you are towing such as a trailer or a caravan. Some countries will also require you to have a separate insurance policy for a trailer. Some trailers also need to be registered before you can tow them through many EU and EEA countries. Trailers over 3,500kg will need to be registered. Also, if your insurance policy renews while you\u2019re away, you will need a green card for each policy, the current one and the new one. If you unfortunately don’t have an insurance green card and you need assistance for your vehicle, then you should consider contacting these 24 hour towing services<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take your vehicle registration documents <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling in your own vehicle you\u2019ll need to\ncarry your log book (V5C) with you or if you\u2019re driving a hired vehicle then\ncarry the VE103 which is proof that you are allowed to drive that vehicle\noverseas.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
