Just to answer your question, you do not need an international driving licence anywhere in the EU. Your insurer should provide up to 90 days of cover outside the UK, which should include breakdown assistance and other services, however as far as I know your insurance should provide basic third party liability throughout the EU anyway. A green card may or may not be asked for in some countries in ex yugoslavia, ( never happened to me). And some of those countries may still be crossed out on the green card, meaning that you have to buy insurance on the border (kosovo and probably Serbia)

Hope this helps. Ciao!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
