Question

im going on a driving trip to france and wonderd if i would need a passport as i know you need one to fly but is it diffrent on the ferry?

Answer 1

Yup, so if you aint got one yoe better go get one.

Answer 2

You will need BOTH your American driver's license AND an International Driver's license... which you can get at any AAA office in the U.S.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

you still pass through customs and are checked when you get your ticket

you can get into france easy enough without a passport but will have diffilculty getting back into the Uk

Answer 5

You'll need your passport, your driving licence and proof that your car is insured to drive on the continent. You will also need proof of breakdown cover (certainly for some European countries...can't remember if it's France specifically....).

Answer 6

Assuming that you are traveling from the UK to France (because of the ferry), you have to carry your passport.

There will be a check at the borders (while entering/leaving France and while entering UK - maybe while leaving UK as well).

However, when you are traveling from France to any other schengen country (Belgium, Spain, NL, Italy, etc..), you are normally not asked for your passport but as I said you definitely SHOULD carry your passport.

Answer 7

You need a passport to go anywhere these days. You can't even go accross to Canada from Michigan without a passport anymore.

Answer 8

YES, you do....................

Answer 9

You will need a passport yes.

There is a passport check even when taking the car by ferry.

If you try it without a passport most likely you will not be allowed to continue your journey.

Answer 10

Not just passport but by law you must have with you in the car all documents such as driving licence, proof of ownership (or authorisation from the owner) and insurance. The gendarmes can be awkward to say the least!

Answer 11

yes you need a passport

Answer 12

yes, you do need it, it isnt necessarily checked, but you must have it. (i live in france).

you need it . definately.

also if you are driving in france you will need the passport and your driving license on you.

Answer 13

of course!!!

Answer 14

Yes you need one but chances ar they wont ask to see it. But, if you don't have it, they wont let you in.

Answer 15

Yes you do - I suspect you wont have to show it going out at the French customs, but you will on your way back at English customs!
