daveo132 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Do you still need the green card? I checked not to long ago and it seemed we didn't. I think maybe we did for a bit after Brexit then they got it sorted... I'll check regardless as my renewal is due shortly anyway. Travel Insurance I have through my bank but not health insurance so good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The green card is issued by your insurance, I’m not aware of that being ‘sorted’, but not all insurance covers driving in Europe and if you are, I believe you still need to make them aware. Good breakdown cover essential though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yes, breakdown cover is on my list of things to sort too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 My last euro trip was organised for the 6 Hours of Spa in 2020 , that didn’t go well........ Went to Le Mans in 2019 a friend in another car that was with us had a catastrophic failure of his oil cooler, cost an initial fortune (€2000 IIRC) to be recovered off the French toll motorway, then the breakdown cover got it recovered to the UK and his local garage.... He was eventually reimbursed by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 ......also, in 2016 on our way to Lake Garda, I didn’t have my sat nav set up properly (was a new car then), couldn’t find Bastogne, got horribly lost in Gent and then, an overnight in Luxembourg, couldn’t get out the damn place Anyway, have a great time and enjoy your trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 I can quite imagine getting lost in Ghent. Place is a maze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo132 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Interesting. I'll have a chat with my friend and see if she knows it! Some nice bars around Ghent though. Ok so in between the work I was doing I didn't read that properly. That really is an "interesting" place.....
