Running out of time to buy the essentials?
Don't panic - the AA has shops at Folkestone and Dover to ensure that you are fully equipped with all the legal requirements when driving in Europe.
At both AA Shops we sell all the last minute legal requirements for driving in Europe, a range of travel guides, maps and atlases and much more. You can even buy European breakdown cover or apply for an International Driving Permit at the desk in either shop.
At the AA Shop: Eurotunnel, we welcome all Eurotunnel passengers and can be found in the main passenger terminal building.
We're open seven days a week from 06:00 to 20:00, but these hours may be extended during busy 'holiday' periods and bank holiday weekends.
Please phone ahead on 01303 272 275 for further information.
The AA Shop: Dover can be found in the parking area, adjacent to the travel centre at the entrance to the Dover Eastern Docks.
Opening hours are from 07:00 to 15:00 Monday to Friday and 06:00 to 14:00 on Saturday.
The shop is closed on Sundays.
We recommend calling 01304 208122 in advance to check that the shop is open or for further information.
For extra peace of mind European Breakdown Cover can also be purchased at the AA Desk at both shops.
You can also apply at AA Dover/AA Folkestone for an International Driving Permit.
