Car hire on the continent

Here's what you need to know about Avis car hire following Brexit

To understand the latest requirements for driving in the EU or the EEA (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), please see the UK Government website for up to date information.

To help you prepare to drive in the EU after Brexit, here’s a summary of what you need to know. 

Driving abroad

UK driving licences

  • UK drivers do not need any extra paperwork or an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive a local rental car in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, if you have a card driving licence issued in the UK.

EU driving licences

  • Arrangements for EU licence holders who are visiting or living in the UK will not change.
  • Visitors with EU driving licences will not need an IDP to drive in the UK.

Taking a UK hire car abroad

If you are renting a car in the UK and planning to take your hire car to the EU or EEA, you will need to carry a ‘Green Card’.

The Green Card to drive your rental car around Europe and to show that appropriate third-party liability insurance is in place.

These vehicle documents will be provided by the rental location on collection of your hire vehicle, when continental cover is arranged in advance.
