The driving specifications across Europe are slightly different to those in the UK, meaning you need more items in your safety kit than usual.
At the RAC, we have developed this Premium European Driving kit to ensure that you have everything you need to comply with the different driving requirements. Simultaneously, it includes items that can ensure your safety in the case of an emergency and warn other motorists about it.
If you're planning a trip across Europe, we'd always advise taking out European Breakdown Cover.
Which countries are covered?
The RAC Premium Family European Driving Kit is suitable for driving in the following countries: France, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain and Austria.
What Does the Premium European Driving Kit Include?
The RAC Driving in Europe Kit Family Pack includes the following items:
- 2 x Warning Triangles
- First Aid Kit (22pcs)
- Universal Fuse & Bulb Kit (10pcs)
- 2 x Adult High Visibility Vests
- Headlamp Beam Deflectors
- UK Sticker
- Magnetic UK Plate
- LED Torch (Inc. 3 x AAA Batteries)
- Premium Carry Case
Placing the Headlamp Beam Deflectors
Headlamp beam deflectors are required to drive in most countries in Europe. These are some of the most important items within our European Driving Kits because of the fact our UK cars are made to be driven on the left side of the road rather than the right. Applying the beam deflectors prevents drivers on the left side being dazzled by a right-hand drive vehicle, which if not done correctly could potentially cause a serious accident. Full filling instructions are included.

Avoid the hassle by having the RAC Shop professionally install your new battery for you. During your purchase online, you will be asked to select a fitting time and location so that an engineer can then attend your home or place of work to fit your battery for you.
Changing a battery can be a difficult and daunting job. However, having an engineer come and professionally fit it will not only provide peace of mind that your car will soon be up and running but also guarantees that the battery will be fitted properly.
Fitting typically takes 30 minutes for batteries. If you have any questions regarding our battery fitting service, then please do not hesistate to call us on 0808 164 9361.
Please note that we only offer fitting on select car batteries and do not currently offer fitting on motorcycle or leisure batteries.
