OVER 40 per cent of Brits are baffled about what licence they need to travel in EU countries after Brexit.
In a no-deal situation, motorists will need to apply for one of two – or both – international driving permits (IDP).
From March 29 next year, Brits may have to buy a 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic IDP or a 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic IDP.
You can purchase one prior to your holiday or business trip from the Post Office for £5.50, however, prices could change post-Brexit. You will also need a passport-sized photo and ID, such as a passport.
Only 90 Post Offices currently sell them over the counter, but this will extend to 2,500 stores from February 1.
Should you already have a valid 1949 Geneva IDP, then it can be used in all EU countries – and other territories where it applies – up until March 28 at least.
If there’s a no-deal Brexit, the 1949 permit will only be recognised by Ireland, Spain, Malta and Cyprus.
It is valid for 12 months from issue or until your UK driving licence expires, if under a year left to expiry.
A 1968 Vienna IDP will apply in all other EU countries, as well as in Norway and Switzerland, and is valid for three years (or driving licence expiry date if before).
You will need to carry the IDP in addition to your UK driving licence – as well as buying car insurance or a Green Card to prove you’re covered to drive abroad.

It’s also worth noting that many European countries require cars by law to use winter tyres in adverse weather conditions.
A new YouGov poll revealed that a whopping 87 per cent of Brits were unaware of the rule, which applies in countries such as Austria, Germany and Croatia.
Snow chains are also mandatory in countries including France, Italy and Switzerland.

Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st
To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
