While we love to travel preparing for our trip should
include transportation and not everyone wants to take the bus tours. So it makes perfect sense to do your homework
before renting a car or even taking the company car when driving in other
countries. These tips should be helpful
and prevent you from being served a fine or even being tossed in jail.
The following are some tips on driving in other countries:
·
Check to see if the rental car takes diesel or
gas (this can be a costly mistake if you use the wrong one)
·
Create a travel file with proper documentation
·
Find out if you need an IDP or International
Driving Permit (this is used with your valid drivers license
·
Some countries require a Test Pass Certificate
·
Most countries you must be over 18 to drive
·
Research the rules on Drinking and Driving (some
laws prevent you from having a drop of alcohol)
·
Find out if the police are allowed to collect on
the spot fees
·
When getting insurance coverage double check to
prevent paying for additional coverage that maybe covered by your credit card
·
Before driving off check for the original
vehicle registration
·
You may also need to carry a Vehicle on Hire
Certificate
·
Be sure to check for any additional safety
equipment and requirements. (In Germany you need to carry a Warning Triangle
and in Italy you need to have a Drivers Safety Vest)
·
Even if you are allowed to use your company car,
ask for a letter of authorization to be given to you. This letter must come from the registered
party
These are just a few items to be aware of if you
travel. It always makes sense to prepare
ahead of time and to know that the old saying goes “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
