Plan ahead

01 IDP Checker Select a destination for a starting point, then verify the answer for your licence origin, licence format, stay length and rental provider. Open tool 02 Emergency Numbers Choose a destination to save its primary emergency number, then open the full guide for local service details and official sources. Open tool 03 Fuel Cost Enter your distance, vehicle fuel economy and local fuel price to estimate litres used, total cost and cost per 100 km. Open tool 04 Break Planner Estimate how long a road trip will take when planned rest stops are included. Open tool 05 Budget Planner Add the costs you expect, switch units when needed, and see a transparent total for the whole trip and each traveller. Open tool 06 Fatigue & Rest Stop Planner Record the route, stage, driver readiness, break rhythm and fallback before the keys move. The worksheet is deliberately conservative: missing facts remain Open and clear safety risks become Blocked. Open tool

Route & access

01 Cross-Border Checklist Choose your vehicle and route conditions to build a focused departure checklist you can complete and print. Open tool 02 EV Trip Planner Estimate how much energy your route needs, how many charging stops to allow, and what the charging session budget could be. Open tool 03 Tolls & Vignettes Record the official charge or pass information you have confirmed, keep currencies separate, and see what still needs checking before you drive. Open tool 04 Parking Planner Record one city, area or parking site at a time. Keep fees, time windows, access rules, rental responsibility and fallback parking visible in one reviewable worksheet. Open tool 05 City Access Planner Turn scattered access rules into a dated decision record: identify the zone, match your vehicle, list the action required and keep a fallback route ready. Open tool 06 Route Weather Planner Turn road notices, weather exposure and practical limits into a dated segment decision with a clear moment to check again and a safe way to turn back. Open tool 07 Vehicle Restrictions Record the loaded vehicle, the exact bridge, tunnel or road restriction, the operator evidence and the decision you will use for the travel window. Open tool

Rental planning

01 Rental Handover Choose pickup or return and turn the details that are easy to miss into a focused, printable handover record. Open tool 02 Rental Border Costs Track the contract, permission, coverage, fees and return evidence one leg at a time. This browser-only worksheet never books a car or makes a legal decision. Open tool 03 Additional Driver Eligibility Record the provider’s actual threshold, named-driver permission, coverage and evidence before somebody else takes the wheel. Open tool 04 Rental Change & Cancellation Keep the booking, deadline, money, provider answer and fallback in one record before a change becomes an expensive surprise. Open tool 05 Rental Extras & Child Seats Record the child’s measurements, the exact seat or booster, provider availability, money and pickup evidence before the vehicle leaves the branch. Open tool 06 Rental Pickup & Return Timing Compare the booked pickup and return times with branch hours, travel estimates, handover work and the provider confirmations that protect you when a journey runs late. Open tool 07 One-Way Return Planner Turn a one-way rental into a checkable plan: match the booking identity, route, vehicle class, fee, branch handover, restrictions, written provider answer and the transport you will use after returning the car. Open tool

Crossing & recovery

01 Vehicle Class & Substitution Planner Compare what you reserved with what the provider proposes, then record the practical fit, price, written answer, pickup inspection and fallback before accepting an equivalent class, upgrade or downgrade. Open tool 02 Return Transport & Hotel Transfer Record the return handover, destination, transport mode, passenger needs and onward connection in one local worksheet so a hotel transfer or airport and rail connection is checked before the keys are dropped. Open tool 03 Rental Damage Disputes Record what changed from pickup to return, then follow the deposit hold, provider notice, response, escalation and resolution without losing the next deadline. Open tool 04 Rental Insurance Claims Record the policy facts, excess, restrictions and claim trail for each rental incident. The planner separates a coverage decision from a deposit dispute or roadside response. Open tool 05 Fuel & Charge Reconciliation Bring the handover readings, contract target, receipts and final provider charge into one neutral review trail. Open tool 06 Service & Maintenance Planner Track what the vehicle needs, what the provider approved, and what happens if the plan changes before you continue the journey. Open tool 07 Border Permission Planner Turn a border, ferry or controlled-road plan into a record you can verify: who permits the vehicle, which documents and accounts are needed, what the time window is, and where you will go if the answer changes. Open tool 08 Roadside Recovery Planner Keep safety, the emergency path, recovery fit, assistance contacts, coverage evidence and the next review time together for each accident or breakdown. Open tool 09 Ferry Crossing Planner Bring the operator confirmation, vehicle facts and terminal checks into one conservative worksheet before you drive to the queue. Open tool
