You need to ensure you have the following for your car: nationality sticker, spare light bulb set, beam deflectors (so you don’t blind oncoming traffic with your lights), warning triangle (not essential, but it is a legal requirement if your hazard lights aren’t working for any reason, so you are advised to take one), first aid kit and fire extinguisher. New from July 1st 2008 - it will be necessary for drivers to carry a yellow luminous vest in the car for use in case of a car breakdown/accident in France

You need to take the following documents: full UK driving licence, vehicle registration document, insurance certificate (green card not necessary) – make sure your insurance company covers you for driving on the continent, European accident statement form (available from your insurance company - see example on the left), vehicle recovery insurance certificate and information pack*. You will need a letter of authority to use a company car.

*We recommend you take a European vehicle recovery insurance policy with one of the leading providers such as the AA or the RAC. If you have a major breakdown, or accident, these policies are worth their weight in gold. Both the AA and RAC offer such policies.

Also we recommend that you take a spare set of keys. A good friend of ours locked their keys in the car and had to smash the window to recover them as they were staying in a gite several miles from civilisation!
