About Course

Taking your own car on holiday, or hiring one abroad, needs some preparation. This course explains what GOV.UK says you need: your licence, an International Driving Permit for some countries, the UK sticker rules, documents for your own or a hired car, insurance checks, and the local rules and equipment to look up before you go.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information based on GOV.UK guidance. Rules abroad change – always check the latest GOV.UK and Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advice for each country before you travel.
