Things to consider when 
transporting a car within Europe


  • Documentation and Compliance

    Ensure you possess all necessary documents for cross-border vehicle transport, including the vehicle’s registration certificate, proof of ownership, and a valid sales agreement. Additionally, obtain a Certificate of Conformity (COC) to confirm the vehicle meets EU standards. Familiarize yourself with the specific registration and compliance requirements of the destination country to avoid legal complications.
  • Insurance and Liability 

    Verify that your chosen transport provider offers comprehensive insurance coverage during transit. It’s crucial to document the vehicle’s condition prior to shipping, including photographs and detailed notes, to facilitate any potential insurance claims.
  • Vehicle Preparation
    Properly prepare your vehicle for transport by thoroughly cleaning it inside and out, removing all personal belongings, ensuring the fuel tank is no more than a quarter full, disabling any alarm systems, and checking tire pressure and battery condition. Document any existing damages to have a clear record before shipping.
  • Customs and Import Regulations
    Research and comply with the customs declaration procedures and import duties of the destination country. Typically, imported vehicles are subject to a customs duty of approximately 10% of the vehicle’s value, with the exact amount based on the customs valuation, which includes the purchase price and transportation costs. Additionally, be prepared to pay the Value Added Tax (VAT) applicable in the destination country, usually ranging between 20-25%.
  • Registration and Taxation in the Destination Country
    Upon arrival, promptly address the vehicle’s registration in the new country, which may involve a technical inspection to ensure compliance with local standards. Be prepared to pay any registration taxes and fees, and ensure you have all necessary documentation to facilitate a smooth registration process.
