Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Tripiamo driving guide?
Each Tripiamo driving guide includes three types of destination-specific preparation:
Patent-pending 360° driving tours
Experience real roads from the driver’s perspective before your trip. Instructor-led and self-guided footage helps you become familiar with local traffic patterns, signs, roundabouts, road positioning, highways, narrow roads, and opposite-side driving where applicable.
Expert instructional video tutorials
Short, easy-to-follow lessons explain the most important rules, signs, parking restrictions, road layouts, driving customs, fueling procedures, safety considerations, and common mistakes travelers should understand before driving at their destination.
On-the-go reference materials
You will also receive practical digital materials that you can review on your phone, tablet, or computer before and during your trip. Depending on the destination, these may include guidance on rental-car pickup, fueling or charging, essential rules and signs, parking, emergencies, helpful phrases, and destination-specific reminders.
The exact topics and driving environments vary by country, but each guide is designed to give international travelers the practical knowledge and virtual experience they need to feel more prepared before getting behind the wheel.
What will I learn?
The specific topics vary by destination, but your Tripiamo guide may cover:
- Local driving requirements and road rules
- Road signs, markings and terminology
- Driving on the opposite side of the road, where applicable
- Road positioning and vehicle differences
- Right-of-way rules
- Roundabouts and intersections
- Parking rules and restrictions
- Speed limits and enforcement
- Toll roads and restricted driving zones
- Fueling or charging your vehicle
- Rental-car pickup procedures
- Local road types and common conditions
- Emergencies and interactions with local authorities
- Motorbike or scooter considerations, where applicable
- Local driving customs and etiquette
- Helpful words and phrases
- Common mistakes that may lead to mishaps, tickets, fines or unnecessary expenses
Tripiamo is designed to help you understand not only the written rules, but also what driving may actually look and feel like at your destination.
Is Tripiamo the same as an International Driving Permit?
No. They serve different but complementary purposes.
An International Driving Permit provides recognized identification and translated driver information. It does not teach the road rules or driving practices of the country you are visiting.
Tripiamo helps prepare you for the actual driving experience by covering destination-specific rules, signs, customs and situations you may encounter behind the wheel.
Your IDP helps you travel with the right identification. Tripiamo helps you drive with the right preparation.
Tripiamo is sold separately and is not required to obtain or use an International Driving Permit.
Is Tripiamo useful for experienced drivers?
Yes. Even experienced drivers may be unfamiliar with another country’s road signs, parking and speed rules, road layouts, enforcement practices, restricted zones or local driving customs.
Some travelers may also need to adjust to driving on the opposite side of the road, using a vehicle with a different layout or interpreting signs in another language.
Tripiamo is designed to help both first-time international drivers and experienced travelers prepare for the specific differences they may encounter at their destination.
How do I receive the AAA customer offer?
Your exclusive AAA customer pricing is automatically applied to the offers displayed on this page.
Select your destination and complete your purchase. No additional promotional code is required.
To make sure the AAA offer remains applied, use the destination and purchase links provided on this page.
How long does a Tripiamo guide take?
Most travelers can complete the primary guide in about an hour.
The guide is self-paced, so you can complete it in one sitting or return over several sessions. You may also choose to spend additional time revisiting specific lessons or virtual driving tours based on your destination and level of comfort.
How long will I have access?
Individual Tripiamo country guides include access for 365 days from the date of purchase.
During that period, you can return to the instructional videos, virtual driving tours and reference materials as often as you would like. This allows you to prepare before your trip and revisit the information while traveling whenever you need a refresher.
The Tripiamo All-Country Guide is offered as an ongoing annual subscription and can be canceled at any time.
