Car Shipping to Germany

Planning to ship a car to Germany? Acquiring German plates while in Germany is a little more difficult than in other European countries. The Germans are more stringent when it comes to rules especially on car imports since they manufacture some, or even most, of the best cars. Of course if your car is not a Carrera or a Jaguar or any other luxury car, it does not mean you cannot ship it to Germany. If you drive a Honda, it is fine but you will see that not many people drive these cars in Europe specifically in Germany.

When shipping a car to the said country, you would really have to make sure that it is in excellent condition because they will turn it upside down to look if everything is in order. If some of the parts are not in order you will have to get all of those changed in accordance to what is acceptable for the German roads.

Your blinkers have to be orange and not red if it is red you would have to change it from your point of origin or change it in Germany. The thing is, if you change it in the said European country you will have to drive with your original plates which would bring you a lot of attention on the road.

It costs a lot to import a car in Germany and a lot of trouble too because of the many tests your car will go through. Buying a second-hand car will be a much better option.
