Best European travel kits 2019

Travelling to the continent and need a european travel kit for your journey we test eight to see which is best to take with you.

Whether you drive abroad once a year for the annual holiday, or once a week on business, you’ll need to make sure your car is legal and safe to drive. For many countries in Europe, that means having to carry extra safety equipment on board by law, much of which isn’t required in the UK.

The neatest and cheapest way to ensure you’re prepared is with a pre-packaged travel kit to store in your boot. We tested eight to see which is the best European travel companion.

How we tested them

We looked for packs which would be legal in the most commonly visited European countries for British motorists – namely France, Spain and Germany. They were judged on which had the best balance of contents and price. We also checked that the items could actually be useful, rather than just being legally compliant.

The perfect kit would contain different parts of all the packages here, but the Ring RCT1 gives the best compromise of price and contents. For £27 you get a pack which will keep you legal in most European countries.

The Family Motoring & Leisure Driving Kit comes in second place thanks to its sheer value for money. The RAC kit costs twice the price, but it makes up for that with contents to keep you legal across all of Europe; it comes in third.

• 1. Ring Travel Kit RCT1
• 2. Family Motoring & Leisure Driving Kit (France)
• 3. RAC Premium European Motoring Family Kit

Ring Travel Kit RCT1

Price:  Around £27 Size: 461x211x91mm Rating:  4.5 stars Contact: www.amazon.co.uk

Ring’s best-selling kit has everything you need to be legal in most European countries, including two breathalysers. It also adds a few useful extras to the basic necessities, such as an emergency foil blanket and an additional hi-vis jacket for a passenger.

The bag itself is nicely made, and our only real criticism is the size of the first aid kit. It’s tiny and only seems to have the bare minimum. This is a really good-value pack though.

Buy now from Amazon

Family Motoring & Leisure Driving Kit (France)

Price:  Around £19 Size: 490x230x64mm Rating: 4 stars Contact: www.amazon.co.uk

If you just want the very basics to keep you legal in France, this kit has everything you need for less than £20. There’s a pair of headlight adaptors, a small GB sticker, a warning triangle, two breathalysers and a single hi-vis vest.

There’s also a first aid kit, but it’s pretty perfunctory and won’t be able to deal with anything more serious than a grazed knee. It would be impossible to buy half of the items in the kit separately for less than this price, so it’s exceptional value.

RAC Premium European Motoring Family Kit

Price:  Around £40 Size: 470x190x110mm Rating:   4 stars Contact: www.racshop.co.uk

The top-of-the-range RAC kit is pricey, but it’s packed with everything you need across Europe and includes four hi-vis jackets, a fire extinguisher and two warning triangles – something which is a requirement in Spain for residents, although only recommended for visitors.

The moulded case is far nicer than the soft bags used in other kits too, and is something you’d not mind keeping in your car all of the time. The only let down is a tiny first aid kit.

Buy now from RAC Shop

Ring Emergency RCT2

Price:  Around £25 Size: 461x197x90mm Rating: 3.5 stars Contact: www.ebay.co.uk

Although this pack is designed as a general breakdown kit, rather than being aimed at European travel, it contains many of the components you’ll need to stay legal abroad. If your car already has GB logos on the number plates and switchable beams, it will avoid doubling on these items, too.

Unlike the other kits, it also has jump leads, gloves, a torch and foil blanket. It’s pretty good value, too, at under £25. It’s not a complete Euro travel kit, so can’t be scored too highly, but it will be handy for many drivers.

AA Euro Travel Kit

Price:  Around £25 Size: 450x200x80mm Rating: 3 stars Contact: www.argos.co.uk

This AA-branded pack is sizeable, but it doesn’t actually have as much inside as you’d expect. On the plus side there’s a bulb kit and beam benders, a GB sticker and a reasonably comprehensive first aid kit, but only one hi-vis vest and no breathalysers.

The pack also includes a European driver’s handbook and a map of Kent; both contain info that is available online, but might come in useful for pre-trip research or reading material while you wait for recovery.

Family Motoring & Leisure Full UK France Travel Kit

Price:  Around £33 Size: 500x130x130mm Rating: 3 stars Contact: www.amazon.co.uk

While this is a ‘Full France’ kit, it’ll keep you on the right side of the law through most of Europe. That’s because it adds a fire extinguisher to the kit tally – an item which is recommended in Belgium and compulsory in Poland.

The pack also has a pair of hi-vis vests, two breathalysers, a bulb kit and a magnetic, rather than adhesive, GB plate. Although the first aid kit is basic, this is good value if you need a fire extinguisher.

GADLANE European Car Driving Travel Kit France

Price:  Around £25 Size: 480x192x62mm Rating: 3 stars Contact: www.ignitionline.com

Gadlane’s kit has everything you need for driving in France. There’s a pair of beam-bending headlight adaptors, a large magnetic GB plate, good-quality warning triangle, two breathalysers and a single hi-vis vest.

There’s also a bulb pack, which is recommended in France and other countries. While there’s nothing wrong with the kit, there are cheaper options.

Halfords Motoring Abroad Kit

Price:  Around £25 Size: 450x130x90mm Rating: 3 stars Contact: www.halfords.co.uk

You get the very basics for most of Europe in this Halfords set, although you’ll need to buy breathalysers separately to stay strictly legal in France

It’s too pricey for such a basic group of items but the contents and bag are good quality, and it has the most comprehensive first aid kit in this test. The pack is relatively compact too, making it easier to store in the luggage compartment or under a seat.

Buy now from Halfords

Make sure you’re fully prepared

You need more than just a travel kit to get ready for a European driving trip. Make sure your car is properly insured, and be prepared to get an International Driving Permit if you plan to travel after 31 October, in case of a ‘no deal’ Brexit.

What you need to carry in the car varies from country to country, but as a basic minimum you’ll need a GB sticker (although this isn’t needed if your number plate has the blue EU strip), a warning triangle and headlamp converters to prevent you dazzling traffic with lights that are designed for driving in the UK, on the left side of the road.

Hi-vis vests are a legal requirement in most countries and you should ideally have one for each person in the car. They need to be instantly accessible, so in the glovebox or under a seat, rather than in the boot. Spare bulbs are a good idea but only recommended, while a first aid kit is compulsory in Austria. 

Breathalysers are only required in France, although most French drivers don’t bother, because the fine isn’t enforced.

8 Reasons It’s Worth the Extra Money To Fly Business Class to Europe

T rips from the United States can cost thousands of dollars. Many travelers save for years to try and have a fulfilling European adventure. That means forgoing certain costs like suites at European hotels, or upgraded airfare …right? Some travel experts disagree with that last point.

You might think an easy way to cut costs while planning a trip to Europe is to get the cheapest plane tickets, but some experts say you’ll be sorry if you do that. Here’s why you should upgrade to business class seats or better when you fly to Europe from the U.S.

Access to Lounges

When you buy a business class ticket, you can sometimes get into the airport lounges, which can help you avoid that gross post-plane feeling. “First and business class guests traveling on Swiss International Airlines can refresh, shower and sleep in the Swiss arrival lounge at Zurich Airport between 06:00 am and 01:00 pm,” Res Marty , a Swiss tourism expert and former flight attendant, recommended.

Travel expert Fiona Spinks agreed. On a trip to Paris, she got access to the lounge and really appreciated the luxury feel. “​​Plush seating, free drinks and snacks, and plenty of space to relax before the flight. It’s such a low-stress way to start your travel versus dealing with the chaos of the main terminal,” said Spinks.

More Comfortable Seats

The seats in higher classes can really change the trip, especially if you’re sitting in one for nearly a day. “Normally I try to tough it out in economy, but for a brutal travel day, I decided to treat myself to a business class upgrade. Best decision ever! First off, the seats themselves were a game-changer. Instead of being scrunched up for over half a day, I had this great lie-flat seat where I could actually stretch out and sleep. I landed feeling so refreshed rather than feeling like a zombie,” she said.

Personal Space

Commercial air travel is not a place to take up a lot of space, but an upgraded ticket can get you more legroom and feel a little more secluded from everyone else. “When you’re confined to a tiny economy seat for multiple hours on end, it can be so punishing on the body,” Spinks said. “If I’m going to be traveling for a huge chunk of time to get somewhere far away, I’d much rather treat myself to some extra breathing room.”

Better Food

Airplane food is a comedic punching bag for a reason: It’s not known for being gourmet. Spinks said, though, that when you upgrade your ticket you get a better dining experience. “On that Tokyo flight, I got served multiple courses of delicious food with complimentary wine. It’s such a nice way to break up a long journey and almost makes you feel like you’re at a nice restaurant instead of trapped on a plane.”

Priority Deboarding

Yes, it’s great to board the plane early and get settled, but another advantage of having an upgraded ticket is the opportunity to get off the plane faster. “Priority deboarding for premium passengers at the destination helps you to avoid the crowds at immigration and saves precious time,” Marty said. You’re spending less time in a line and more time enjoying your trip.

Earn More Miles

Using a travel credit card to help pay for your trip? Opting for an upgrade can ensure you earn more points on this trip to make sure your next big venture is even cheaper. “​​You can often double or even triple the status miles you will get on a first or business-class flight and take advantage of your preferred frequent flier program faster,” Marty said. So, even if it seems like a big expense now, you’re saving for a trip in the long run. 

Complimentary Internet Access

These flights are long, and that means coming up with ways to entertain yourself for hours on end. “Some airlines, such as Turkish Airlines or Singapore Airlines, offer their first-business class guests complimentary internet access,” Marty said. You’ll get to stave off boredom and enjoy the internet for no cost thanks to your upgraded ticket. 

Upgraded Amenity Kits

On plenty of international flights, you’ll receive an amenity kit with a toothbrush, and maybe some compression socks and other goodies. Spinks said that, when you opt for a higher class ticket, you can usually get more and better products in your amenity kit. Referring to the trip she took to Paris, she recalled the kit being especially luxe. “On the actual flight, there were great features like premium entertainment with noise-canceling headphones and amenity kits with slick travel supplies. Little luxuries like that can really elevate the experience.”
