After the recent serialization of the RV family’s Asia-Europe trip travel notes, many netizens in front of the screen are eager to try a RV self-driving trip to Asia and Europe. So what do you need to prepare for such a trip to Europe in a RV? What about things?
1. Passport and visa
Needless to say about the passport, the visa is the most important thing to determine whether this trip to Asia and Europe is successful. You need to make a detailed itinerary to ensure normal entry and exit within the visa time.
2. Driver’s license and driving book translation
Since China has not joined the United Nations Road Convention, it is not recognized that Chinese citizens hold international driver’s licenses abroad, and some countries even think that you forged documents and cause more trouble. In fact, we only need to publicize the translation of our existing driver’s license and driving book, and then we can gallop across the Eurasian continent~
3. ATA Carnet
The ATA certificate is the exit procedure for the goods. It is handled by the local CCPIT, or it can be handled by a travel agency. You need to pay the corresponding deposit according to the vehicle, and it will be refunded to you when you come back. To put it bluntly, it is to ensure that you will not go abroad and take the car directly. Sell it and avoid tariffs.
4. Vehicle insurance
Vehicle insurance is as important as personal insurance. Russian vehicle insurance can also be handled through travel agencies, and can be purchased at the border before leaving Russia and entering the next country.
In addition to the above 4 points, it also includes exchanging foreign currency, preparing translation and navigation software, finding information on campsites in various countries, understanding the local culture of various countries, and so on.
