If you're planning on travelling overseas, you should be aware of the services that are available through the AANT especially if you're planning to drive, camp or take your car with you.

Some countries might not recognise your Australian driver's licence, to avoid problems while driving purchase an International Driving Permit, which is recognised by approximately 150 countries worldwide.

The permit is available at a reasonable cost to current holders of a driver's licence (must be presented with application), aged 18 years or older.  Also required is a recent passport sized photo, we can issue the IDP on the spot.

The AANT can provide International Camping Cards also at a reasonable cost which provide protection against legal liability for bodily injury and/or property damage to third parties in camping grounds.

Many European camping grounds will only accept guests who are in possession of the Camping Card. Many camping grounds offer discounts and there are a number of special rates for them at parks and attractions available for cardholders.

If you wish to travel with your own car while on your overseas adventure talk to the AANT about a Carnet de Passages en Douane (CPD), because as a person you require international identification, commonly by way of passport, so does your vehicle. 

While travelling overseas you should carry your Australian Driving Licence with you at all times along with your current automobile club Membership Card which will entitle you to reciprocal services from member clubs of the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme (AIT) and the Federation Internationale de'l Automobile (FIA), the two world motoring bodies.

The AAA has produced an International Handbook for Motorists, which details the levels and types of service available from motoring organisations around the world.
