A trip abroad requires extra attention. Not only due to the long distances involved, but certainly also because each country has its own regulations. The most important thing is to be well prepared before departing.

Checklist

Tyre pressure
A long drive ahead of you? Car heavily loaded? In that case, check your tyre pressure beforehand. Because of this, you drive more comfortable, more economic and more safe. You will find the recommended tyre pressure in the instruction booklet of your car.

Oil level, windscreen wiper liquid and coolant
Before your departure, check the oil level and the level of your windscreen wiper liquid and coolant. Every 500 kilometres, check the oil and put in an extra litre of oil in the suitcase.

Green card
Please ensure that the country you are travelling to is listed on the green card inserted in your driver's wallet. Make sure that you are actually taking this card with you on your journey.

Snow chains
In most countries the use of spiked tyres and snow chains are regulated and, in certain places, indicated by specific traffic signs.

Accessories that are compulsory
