Our tips to prepare your car holiday !

The countdown has started: you’ll soon be able to head for the sun again in your car! Prepare well for your departure so that you can avoid pitfalls. We’re pleased to offer you a few tips on how to reach your destination quickly.

  • SET OFF CALMLY AND SAFELY

    1. Check the general condition of your car:
      • tyre wear and pressures;
      • fluid levels;
      • mirror adjustment;
      • operation of the lights (indicators, headlamps and other lights).
    2. Take the identity documents of all family members, your driving license and the valid vehicle documents (e.g. white card, insurance green card) with you.
    3. Do not forget to check if your vehicle is in order with the date of technical inspection
    4. Think about taking your second car key, in case you lose the first one during your trip.
    5. Is the mandatory equipment present in your car? Make sure you have a safety triangle and hi-viz vests.
    6. Distribute the luggage evenly across the car and so that nothing can shift. A badly loaded car poses a danger on the road!
    7. Don't forget that you need a suitable luggage carrier for electric bicycles.
    8. Build in sufficient breaks to rest and have something to eat.
  • ARE YOU TRAVELLING ABROAD?

    1. What are the traffic rules in the country you are travelling to and the countries you will be crossing? Avoid fines and make sure you are well informed.
    2. Is your country of destination, and countries you travel through, not listed on your white insurance card?  Check countries allowed by Arval Luxembourg insurance : click here.
