Taking bike abroad. WHat do we need?



We have booked the ferry at dover. They never mentioned we would need any documents other than license insurance docs. Someone has mentioned green card???? also that we will need to take certain items such as extra bulbs etc
Please help we are booked to go on the 18th june!

I take it you mean Motor Bike. All you need to take with you are driving licence and insurance certificate (stick your test cert. in if you have one). Green card no longer a legal requirement, and anyway most insurance certificates states in several languages that it covers the vehicle for at least the minimum cover in all E.U. countries.
In several countries, if you are stopped for having a light out, you will escape an 'on the spot fine' if you are carrying a spare bulb for that light. Therefore a spare bulb kit is a wise and inexpensive investment.
It is also a legal requirement in many countries to carry a warning triangle in case of a breakdown, but these too are reasonably cheap, and fold up small.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy your trip.
P.S. You may find travel kits for sale on the ferry, containing everything from a flourescent jacket to a first aid kit, and stating more or less that you 'need one of these'. At the moment you don't so don't bother. Source(s): Frequent E.U. traveller
