NVR is the UK's number one for European hire — and for good reason. Whether you are driving to France for a ski trip, crossing into Ireland for business or touring Europe on holiday, taking a hire vehicle abroad requires a little extra planning.

Before You Book

Confirm European travel is included on your booking. Not every vehicle category or rental length qualifies, so declare your intentions when you get a quote so cover and documentation are arranged correctly.

Essential Documents

  • Full UK driving licence — check expiry dates well in advance.
  • Proof of insurance valid for your destination countries.
  • Vehicle registration documents (VE103) where required.
  • Passport or ID for all drivers.

On the Road Abroad

Research local speed limits, toll systems and low-emission zones at your destination. Carry a warning triangle and high-visibility vest if required. In many EU countries you will also need headlight beam deflectors.
