When going on a road trip to Europe from the UK there are several essential items and some very useful ones too. These are the actual items we bought for our trip. We purchased our items primarily from Amazon:
GB Stickers with Headlight Beam Deflectors
When traveling to Europe you must have a GB sticker on your car as well as your headlight beams angled correctly so you do not blind on-coming traffic. This pack is less than £5 for both items so we bought it for each car.
NF Breathalyser for France
It is a legal requirement to have a breathalyser in your car in France. here is a link to the one we used. It is around £5 from Amazon
Universal Plugs for Power Sockets
Make sure you have power to your devices when your in your hotel rooms.
Car multi device charger
This is the car charger we used, It can power seven devices in one go. I will be running a dash cam, satellite navigation, a bluetooth FM transmitter and 2 phones at the same time.
12v Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Hands-Free Call Feature
If your using an older car like us, you may miss some of the feature many modern cars have. This device is a great addition to my car and makes the boring motorway sections much better.
Walkie-Talkies (Two-Way Radios)
Because we had multiple cars, they all needed to be co-ordinated. These walkie-talkies were the perfect solution and were cost effective in our budget. They also allow banter between the drivers and cars which with the hands-free earpieces allow us to feel part of a group even though we are all in seperate cars.
Long Way There
