What countries am I insured to travel in if I take the van to mainland Europe?
If you pay the extra premium to take the van over to Europe then you are covered in all EU countries plus Serbia, Macedonia, Switzerland, Croatia, Norway, Iceland, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Bosnia & Albania, Turkey and Monaco. If you’re not sure which countries are included in the EU here’s a list (drum roll please): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK.
We have heard certain rumours from previous customers that in some Eastern European countries (i.e Montenegro) you can purchase insurance at border crossing points to cover you in that particular country. We’ve been advised that this is more than likely valid and is usually 3rd party cover. As far as we know it costs around £50 per week. Please be advised that Wicked do not take any responsibility for customers purchasing this insurance – this is at your own risk.
All vans come with their own green card which should be sufficient, along with the documents in the vehicle to cross most European borders. However, if you are planning on traveling in Eastern Europe (i.e to the east of Germany/Italy/Austria borders) we recommend that you purchase from us a Vehicle on Hire Certificate (VOH certificate) which costs £15+ VAT and alleviates any cross-border issues you may have in more remote parts of Europe. This VOH certificate is a valid and legal replacement for the vehicles Registration Document (also known as a V5) which can be given to customers who are hiring our vehicles - as we are not allowed to issue customers with the original Registration document.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS CERTIFICATE IN THESE AREAS THEN WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS INVOLVED IN BEING REFUSED ENTRY TO THESE COUNTRIES. ADDITIONALLY WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL TOLLS ASSOCIATED WITH DRIVING IN ANY COUNTRIES.
