The European Union has open borders and you can freely drive from one country to another. No one is going to physically restrain you from entering a country requiring IDP if you don't have one. It is not a new requirement, laws requiring IDPs have been in effect in various countries for years (decades?) Think of an IDP like insurance. You don't need it until you get in an accident; you don't need an IDP unless you get stopped, but by law, it is required in many countries. Ignorance if the law is not a defense! Quote:

Sorry if I seem a little snarky about this, but in the five years since I did my first Euro Delivery, questions about the IDP come up constantly on the forums. There are so many resources to help you plan a visit to Europe, and somehow the requirement for an IDP goes unnoticed. Google is your friend! Start with "driving in Europe". You can actually be fined if you get stopped in a country that requires an IDP and you don't have one!

Nice trip I did a 16 day trip back in August/sep 2015 and that too with a 1 year old and a 4 month pregnant wife Was a blast
I couldn't agree more on the allocation crap. I too dumped the local dealer because they were charging too much and didn't have an allocation. Luckily for me, I had researched the crap out in this section of the forum and knew all about allocations, etc. So I only targeted dealers that I never did t deal without an allocation. I sent an email to around 9 dealers and 3 agreed to $1k over invoice. I settled for the closest one and we agreed to $1000 over whatever invoice would be for 2016. 3 months later when the 2016 pricing released, he called me to inform me that he had an allocation and I gave the go ahead to proceed. Rest was smooth from there. I still don't understand the allocation process, why it is there in the first place Unfortunately it is also something that allows the stealerships to charge more.
