England 
France this year

Whose heading to France this year (with tintent). Was thinking about using usual crosing (porstmouth - Caen) as if there is any Censored with traffic after brexit its more likely to be dover.

Might get a IDP as well just in case - only £5.50 from the post office

Just make sure you get the right one.

From RAC

Which IDP will I require?
1949 IDP: If you are travelling to Ireland, Malta, Spain or Cyprus, you may require a 1949 IDP. The 1949 convention IDP is valid for 12 months.
1968 IDP: If you are travelling to all other EU states, you may require a 1968 IDP. The 1968 convention IDP is valid for three years, or for however long your driving licence is valid, if that date is earlier.
1926 IDP: A 1926 IDP is not required in any EU state. However, it is required it if you plan to drive in Mexico or Somalia.

Where are you planning on going?

WE have been advised that a green card is more than likely to be required and an IDP

But they aren't sure Rolling with laughter

D&G - to your neck of the woods Thumbs Up

so 1968 IDP should be OK - I have always requested a green card from my insurers anyway.

It is an issue that nobody does know. I would say having both is a good idea. Can't imagine there is much of a charge for a green card.

Will pm you my contact details, not that you will need any assistance with a D4 but just in case. I am no mechanic but might be able to assist in other ways.

I heard Britanny Ferries on the news earlier, though sounds like it it’s not your route, and around Easter, but worth noting :

England 

saw the stuff ths morning about Brittany - will keep a close eye.

On manufactures warrenty breakdown cover, I have never relied or used it abroad as it doesnt recover the caravan all the way home. When I checked with LR they would recover your car and 'van but only to the closest dealer.

Looks like he'll need the 1968 IDP if it's France he's going to.

Also, speaking of the RAC, it's probably wise to get one of the France driving packages they sell https://www.racshop.co.uk/driving-in-france-kit.html
