UK driver’s license holders travelling to the EU, EEA & Switzerland
After the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, and dependent on the outcome of the UK government’s current negotiations, customers from the UK may need an international driving permit and extra documentation to drive in Europe after 31 October 2019. These guidelines provide further details.
If there is no EU Exit deal, UK driving license holders may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to their UK driving license to drive to EU and EEA countries after 31 October 2019. The type of permit you will need depends on the country where you intend to drive and whether you have a UK photo card or UK paper driving license. Full details can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-the-eu-after-brexit-international-driving-permits. If an IDP is required, it can be obtained from the Post Office for a fee of £5.50.
