HELP! Insurance / Carnet Tax etc
Hi
I'm in the UK and want to drive a 4x4 round Africa and the Middle East for two years starting Sept 2005. I have a few questions, and would greatly appreciate some help answering them.
1. What is the deal with insurance? With UK insurance will I be insured outside the EU? Surely not?
2. Will I need an insurance policy in Africa / Middle East or do I buy insurance in each country?
3. The Carnet thing... do I need to go back to the UK after 1 year to get an MOT to keep the Carnet Valid? Is it valid if I have no UK road tax?
4. Whats a Green Card? Is it expensice?
I guess you can see where I'm coming from and I'm interested in any tips for saving money / cheating the system in this area.
My drive will probably be a Landcruiser if thats relevant.
Cheers
Dan
