Consumer advice on driving abroad during the holiday season
With many consumers choosing to drive aboard during their holidays, BIBA is offering the following advice to ensure that consumers stay within the law and stay safe:
To help reduce the chances of breaking down, have your car serviced before you take it abroad
Contact your broker or insurer to make sure that you have adequate cover for driving abroad. Some companies limit comprehensive cover to a fixed number of days abroad in one trip
Make sure you take your driving licence, vehicle ownership and motor insurance certificate with you when driving abroad
Make sure that you familiarise yourself with the motoring laws of the country you will be driving in by checking with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In some countries you are required to keep emergency items, such as a warning triangle, first aid kit and/or fluorescent jacket in the vehicle at all times
Make sure that your emergency medical and travel insurance are up to date.
