Can I travel to Europe/Ireland with the van?

Please keep in mind that if the van is covered by the Camplify Flex coverage, the van is only covered for trips in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, as well as any country member of the European Union, including also Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. Please speak directly with the owner to make sure all requirements are met.

The documentation required for going outside the UK is the following:

VE103 (Vehicle on hire) certificate: This proves that the hirer is allowed to use a hired vehicle abroad. This document must be requested by the owner. More info here
Motor insurance certificate: Camplify can provide one for vans using the Camplify Flex Cover. Owners using their own insurance must provide this document.
European breakdown coverage policy and contact details
Before you travel ensure the vehicle’s tax and MOT are valid and up-to-date
A UK sticker: If you don’t have a UK identifier with the Union flag on your number plate)
ONLY for owners using their own insurance: If your insurance covers travelling across the following countries, you must provide a green card. This can be requested to your insurance. Countries include Albania, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Turkey, and Ukraine.

Some further measures worth considering when you are traveling in Europe.

Note* These may require to be provided by the hirers

HI-VIZ JACKETS: In many European countries, it is the law that one high visibility vest should be kept in the car for every occupant of the vehicle. These are to be worn when standing on the hard shoulder on motorways and other fast roads. You can find out more information at http://www.motoring-into-europe.co.uk/product-vest.html.
REFLECTIVE TRIANGLES: All cars in Europe must carry a warning triangle (two in many countries). These warning triangles are for use in the event of an emergency to warn approaching traffic of a stationary vehicle. See here for more details.
HEADLAMP CONVERTERS: It is law in France and most other mainland European countries that UK cars fit headlight beam deflectors. Read here for more information.
EMISSION FREE ZONES: Almost every European country has congestion/emission free zones so it is vital that hirers check before travelling. For example in France, there are certain restricted traffic zones that are passable only with an appropriate anti-pollution sticker displayed, known as Crit’Air. Vehicles registered outside France must also display it. Refer to https://www.france.fr/en/holiday-prep/crit-air-anti-pollution-vehicle-sticker for more detail. In Belgium hirers will need to register in advance (and possibly pay) on the Brussels/Antwerp region website before entering the LEZ https://lez.brussels/mytax/en/registration
SNOW CHAINS: Winter tyres and snow chains are a requirement in almost every European country (dates dependant on country). Read this article for more details https://www.michelin.co.uk/auto/advice/winter-tyres-guide/european-winter-tyres-regulation
CHILD ABANDONMENT: Italy has mandated the use of new technologies to help prevent children, secured in their car seats, being left in the backseat of a vehicle. Refer to https://www.ul.com/news/anti-abandonment-car-seat-italy for more information.
BREATHALYSER: While there's no fine for not having one, French law states you must be able to produce an unused, certified self-test breathalyser.

Please note it is also compulsory in some countries to carry a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and a breathalyzer.
