An International Drivers Permit is also recommended. We recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance, including cover for medical treatment, accidents and repatriation, and holiday cancellation and curtailment. Please consult your doctor for up to the minute advice on any health precautions, jabs and boosters you may require.
