Hooray for young driver car insurance
and sound tips for driving abroad

At Hoot Car Insurance Services, we know that you young drivers like nothing better than getting on the open road. For many of you the idea of a driving holiday is bliss; you have the freedom to visit all those places you want to go without having to get to grips with foreign public transport systems.

However, as well as making sure that you have adequate young driver car insurance cover while driving abroad there are also some safety and security measures that you should take.

Car security is an issue in many foreign countries, just as it is in the UK, with tourist hot spots also being hot spots for crime. Also, driving abroad can be very different; not only do you have to contend with driving on the opposite side of the road you must also allow for heat variations.

So, whether you opt to hire a car abroad or ferry your own motor vehicle overseas here are some tips to make sure you maximise the enjoyment of your holiday:

  • Don't leave any valuables on display in the car when it's unattended, that includes mobile phones, loose change and even your sunglasses.
  • Make sure you always have the following documents to hand: registration document, motor insurance certificate, driving license, contact details for breakdown services and your car insurance company and your passport. Don't forget to take all this documentation with you when you leave the car.
  • Don't take any risks; if you're filling up with petrol make sure you lock the car when you go to pay. When you leave the car, ensure all windows and sunroofs are fully closed.
  • If driving in a hot country you will tire more easily than you will when driving in the UK. Make sure you have regular rest breaks and drink plenty of water so that you can keep alert.

If you've got kids in the car, make sure you have water to keep them hydrated. Pack toys and books to keep them entertained and ensure that they have enough space to sleep comfortably. If driving in a hot country, ensure you have sun shade blinds fitted to windows.
