Typically, insurance policies cover third party liability, at least in part. So it is important to check with your auto insurance company before beginning purchasing an additional policy.

Make sure your passports are up-to-date by checking the expiration date. A lot of countries have certain rules concerning passports. Many will not allow you entry into the country if it expires soon. Time frames can run anywhere from three months to a year.
