Driving in Europe with an Nationwide Vehicle Rentals Hire Vehicle: What You Need to Know
Nationwide Vehicle Rentals 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.
