Travelling Abroad

If you're planning to take your Sandicliffe vehicle abroad either for business or pleasure, you'll need to ensure you obtain a VE103 Vehicle on Hire Certificate. This entitles you to drive the vehicle in any EU member state.

If you would like us to issue you with a VE103 Certificate, please complete the form below or alternatively email or call our helpdesk on 01159 466 466.

Your company may be charged a nominal fee for the supply of the VE103 document. Please allow 7-14 days for delivery, and also ensure that your insurance policy covers you to drive abroad.

It is highly recommended that you carry certain accessories in your vehicle when travelling in many popular European destinations. These essential accessories are outlined in the chart below. Those that are required by law are marked with a star. Please click on the chart below to enlarge.

It is possible to list one main driver and two additional drivers on a VE103B certificate, but the main driver must be in the car at all times.

If an additional driver will be driving the vehicle alone they must carry their own original VE103B certificate. Foreign authorities will view this additional driver as the main driver and wish to verify them accordingly.
