Which destinations accept RHD UK vehicles in 2026 and where LHD conversion is required.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert RHD to LHD?

Technically yes; commercially impractical for most cars. Some destinations refuse converted vehicles.

Will my insurance be more expensive in an RHD-friendly LHD country?

Slightly — UAE and Saudi insurers typically load 10-20% on RHD versus LHD. Australia and NZ no loading. South Africa no loading. Always quote with full disclosure of RHD configuration.
