Do not forget to ask your insurance company for an International Green C\
ard. This will avoid extra expenses
when entering countries where insurance is compulsory and can avoid seri\
ous complications in the event of an accident in another country.
However, it is only valid in those countries which are covered by the In\
surance policy (look for the geographical limits in the "General Conditions" section of your policy)\
.
In certain countries, a large sum may be required as a deposit in case o\
f an accident causing personal bodily injury. There are insurance policies which cover this risk.
If you are going to a country where the opposite rule of the road applie\
s, first consult your Citroën dealer about dipped headlamps.
