Video Transcript

"You're thinking about traveling, and you want to drive a car in a different country. My name is James with the resurgence group, we have a full service insurance agency and we specialize in auto insurance. The first thing that you want to do is get an international driver's license through your existing country. And then once you get over to the country that you're visiting, go to the department of motor vehicle, because you're going to have to learn exactly what it is that they're going to ask of you as far as driving. That could be driving on which side of the road, or different types of signals, each country is a little bit different. So we highly recommend that you speak to the people at the department of motor vehicle and get some specific answers as far as the protocol for driving. We have different types of companies in our country in the US, and many of them will be able to offer insurance and you should be able to get that insurance on a car if you're thinking about having a car while you're here on a visa. Or, you could rent a car, and take the insurance that comes with that car. It might be a little more expensive, but it's just a simple way to get your car insurance. Again, my name is James with the resurgence group we're a full service insurance agency, and we try to help folks when they have these specific questions. You might want to walk into an insurance company or an agency once you get to that country and just ask them the protocol when it comes to getting an international driver's license and making sure that you have the proper insurance so that in the event that you're in a car accident, you're covered."
