I would say this would be far to late to not have to pay a fee for changing the booking. They usually give a few hours because of traffic etc but as you are looking at 8+ hours they would more than likely charge you for that!

We changed our eurotunnel times twice

First time no charge as the charge was the same as we originally paid.

Second time we had to pay the difference as the crossing we wanted was dearer than the one we were changing it from.

No problems at all with doing it though.

Can I ask, if you are hiring a car in France do you still need that list of items for the car or do they provide them - not the driving licence though obviously

If we have to provide them is there a comprehensive list anywhere?

Thanks.

I thought this was just Spain so had not added this to our list.
Appreciate the heads-up

It came into force 1st July & they were doing spot checks to start with but with no warning you got the fine if you didn't have one. The fine is 90 Euros, so it could ruin a trip if caught with out one.

No sure, it might be worth checking with the hire company before you go. Just found this site: http://www.click-parts.co.uk/content/Driving-In-France.php Some won't matter to you such as beam deflectors.

Other articles state you only need a high vis jacket, which I imagine will be for the driver. I really don't think all the passenegrs need one as that is excessive.

Indeed. We had no idea of this when we went last week and would have probably continued to have no idea until our luck ran out and we broke down, receiving a nice fine in the process. So thanks

Take a look here : http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/countrybycountry.html

The AA would like to hear from anybody who has been fined, as the Dept of Motoring says fines won't be enforced until October.
