Carnet UK to SA (East Route) - Should I add alternate route?
 

Hi All,

I am just about to write a substantial cheque to the RAC for my Carnet. We are traveling from Tunisia to South Africa down the east route (14 countries). When I applied for my quote a added an additional 11 countries to enable us to travel from Algeria down the west coast route as a back up if we were not able to get down the east route for any reason (voilence in Kenya etc). Do you thnk this is a good idea? My concern is that it takes up all pages in a 25 page carnet. Do I need spare pages? Am I being paranoid?

Many thanks,

Bruce

carnet
 

the carnet is blank and each page contains details of the vehicle etc..you present it as you arrive at a country so the countries you list are immaterial to the custom there ...you know about the problems of egypt and from memory its only excludes pakistan and india (but check that)

have a good trip

So does that mean you could buy a carnet without including Egypt but then turn up at the Egyptian border and get in?

Hi Ghenk,

Please list the countries you plan to drive through.

I presume your first will be Morroco?
