Germany for Disabled Visitors & Motorists

Please note that the standard British disabled badge - as used in the UK - is valid throughout the European Community so long as the name of the disabled person is visible on the badge. Over the past few years all UK Orange Badges should have been replaced with the new EU Blue Badge. The standardised EU Blue Badge is supported by a leaflet compiled by the AA for the European Commission. It explains how the Blue Badge system works in 18 European countries. 

A list of motorway service stations with facilities for the disabled titled "Autobahn Service für Behinderte" is available from Tanken & Rasten. To obtain a hard copy simply fax/or post your address to:
