Frequently asked questions

Do I need to wash the underbody?

Yes for Australia and New Zealand — steam cleaning the underbody is mandatory. Strongly recommended for every other lane.

Can I leave the spare key in the car?

No — keep the spare with you. Send one working key with the vehicle, secured in a sealed envelope attached to the steering wheel. Always retain a copy in the UK in case of loss.
