Prior to the trip:
• check the validity of the insurance (dates, territory) and obtain additional insurance if required.
You don’t need additional insurance travelling in European Economic Area. Green Card and additional CASCO coverage is required if travelling outside European Economic Area.
• If travelling outside the territory of European Economic Area make sure that you don’t need a letter of attorney certified by a notary.
If you are registered as a user of the vehicle in car’s registration certificate, you don’t need additional letter of attorney to drive the car in European Economic Area. If your name is not registrated as a user of the vehicle in car’s registration certificate, you need additional letter of attorney from ALD Automotive.
