Moving oversea: Driving Yourself or Pay A Driver?

In many countries it is helpful to have an international driving license as well as the license from your home country or state. Consider carefully the traffic in your chosen city and if you really want to drive at all in the chaos you observe on the roads. You need to know is there a requirement for automobile accident insurance or is the rule that you argue out the price, agree to the price of the repair right there and then, and pay immediately, on the spot. As a foreigner you will be looked on as rich and a potential money spinner. In countries such as China there are limits to how far you can drive in a hired vehicle. This could be as far as the city limits and then you will be turned around (hired vehicles have special registration plates so they can easily be identified).

Pay A Driver

If you choose not to drive on a regular basis, a cost-effective option may be to hire a local person on a daily basis to drive for you. Make sure they have a current driving license and drive with a certain level of care when you are in the vehicle and then you can come and go as you please when the need arises to collect people from the local airport or do a large shop.

Do not assume that because you are used to doing things one way in your home country, that it is the best or most cost-effective in your new country.
