Regulations, Documents, and Coordination
International car transport is not just a matter of “driving over”
Transporting a car within Europe may seem simple, but as soon as the border comes into view, it quickly becomes complex.
Customs formalities, VAT handling, temporary license plates, import duties, and insurance requirements – each country has its own rules and procedures.
Without the correct documents or knowledge of the regulations, transport can be delayed or unnecessarily expensive. This applies not only to individuals but also to companies moving vehicles between EU and non-EU countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway, or Switzerland.
International car transport is more than a trip from A to B – it is a logistical process full of details, rules, and responsibilities.
