  • Advertising and managing inquiries: You'll need to create listings on various platforms, respond to inquiries, and screen potential buyers.

Information on Driving in the Schengen Area

European Sun Beckons: Information on Driving in the Schengen Area

Now that autumn is here, you might be dreaming of escaping to the sunny shores of southern Spain or Portugal. Or perhaps you're picturing yourself exploring the charming villages of France or Italy. Whatever your European adventure looks like, a motorhome gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. But with Brexit changing some of the travel rules, it's important to be in the know before you hit the road.

Before you set off on your autumn road trip, it's worth brushing up on the latest regulations for driving a motorhome in Europe. 

Navigating the New Rules: Essential Info for UK Motorhomers in Europe

  • Passport and Visa Requirements: Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your planned return date to the UK. Currently, UK citizens can travel to the Schengen Area without a visa for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. For the most up-to-date information, check the UK government's foreign travel advice for the specific countries you plan to visit: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.
  • Driving Regulations: You'll need your UK driving licence, motorhome insurance with European cover, and your vehicle registration document (V5C). While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not currently required for most EU countries, it's a good idea to carry one, especially if you plan to venture further afield. You can get an IDP from the Post Office: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/international-driving-permit. Don't forget to display a UK sticker on your motorhome unless your number plate has the UK identifier.
  • The 90/180-Day Rule: The Schengen Area operates a "90/180-day rule," meaning you can stay for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. This applies to all visits within the Schengen zone, whether for holidays, business, or other purposes. It's crucial to keep track of your travel dates to avoid overstaying. You can use the Schengen Area calculator on the European Commission website to help you: [invalid URL removed].
  • "Resetting" the Clock: Trips to Non-Schengen Countries:


If you're keen to spend more than 90 days exploring Europe in your motorhome, you'll need to "reset" the clock by visiting countries outside the Schengen Area. 

How Does The Schengen Area 90/180-day rule work?:

The 180-Day Rolling Window

It's important to understand that the 180-day period is a rolling window the looks back and counts any prior days you have spent in the Schengen area. This means it's not a fixed period that starts on the day you enter the Schengen Area. Instead, it's a continuous 180-day period that starts each day.

Calculating Your Stay

To avoid any issues, it's crucial to keep track of your travel dates and calculate your time spent within the Schengen Area in the last 180 days. You can use the Schengen Area calculator on the European Commission website or consult with a travel expert if you're unsure.

Remember Always check the latest travel advice and entry requirements for your chosen destinations before you travel.

Which Countries are in the Schengen Area?

The Schengen Area currently includes the following 27 countries:

  • EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.  
  • Non-EU Member States: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland.  

You can travel freely between these countries without border checks, making it easy to explore multiple destinations on your motorhome adventure. However, remember that the 90/180-day rule applies to the total time spent within the Schengen Area, regardless of how many countries you visit.

Planning Your European Escape: Tips for a Smooth Journey

  • Motorhome Checklist: Before you set off, make sure you have all the essentials, including travel insurance, breakdown cover, a first aid kit, and any necessary adaptors or converters. Don't forget to pack for all weather conditions, as Europe can experience diverse climates.
  • Route Planning: Map out your route, considering ferry crossings, the Channel Tunnel, and toll roads. Research campsites or wild camping rules in advance, especially during peak season. Apps and websites like Park4Night and The Camping and Caravanning Club can be invaluable resources for finding overnight stops.
  • Resources: Stay updated on the latest travel advice and regulations by checking official government websites and travel advisories.
