Many people who go on holiday either within the UK or abroad will look at leasing/hiring a car for the time they are on holiday, but a lot of people do not know the rules in other countries in regards to driving.
Rules are different throughout the European Union (EU) for example in France, Italy and Belgium the drink-drive limit is 50mg of alcohol per 100mg but in Norway it goes down to 20mg, In Germany it is illegal to drive with a sat nav that shows speed cameras, and interestingly in Spain you must always have a hi-vis reflective jacket within reach inside your vehicle at all times.
To help combat any mix-ups whilst abroad Skoda have teamed up with RAC to offer free EU travel advice. The guide is available from all Skoda dealers.
Interested in leasing a Skoda or any other vehicle, take a look at Leasebam who will search dealers nationwide to find the best deal for you.
