The lady to contact at the RAC is Sue Collins on 01454 208000 or e-mail at sjcollins (((A-T)))}} rac.co.uk
She will help you with the carnet; there are basically 3 options:
1. Pay a deposit for between 2 & 5 times the value of the vehicle, refundable on return of the carnet.
2. Give a bank guarantee for the same.
3. Pay an insurance of 10% of the above fee, half of which is returnable on return on the carnet.
E.G. If your motor is worth £1,000, then you must pay / deposit or guarantee between £2 & 5,000, dependent on where you're travelling. (Egypt is 5 times vehicle value, Syria is 2, but you have to pay the highest.)
Fun, eh?!
==========================
Sue's email address obfuscated by Grant - no point in giving the spambots another address to collect - especially when it's someone we want to be nice to us! Always obfuscate an address if you MUST put it here. Note that Sue's contact info is also on the Links page.
