Frequently asked questions about car import
Thinking about buying a car abroad but not sure what it all involves? We have put together the questions our clients ask most often. If you do not find your answer, call or e-mail us anytime.
How long does importing a car from abroad take?
From confirmation to handover, it usually takes 5 to 14 days, depending on the country, vehicle availability and the seller’s cooperation. On selected routes express transport is possible from 48 hours.
What is the total cost of an import?
The price consists of transport (see the calculator below) and the purchase price of the car. You always get a written breakdown before anything is paid.
Do I have to travel abroad myself?
No. We handle communication with the seller, pick-up and transport. You take delivery of the car at the agreed place in Slovakia.
Do you inspect the car before purchase?
Yes. We check the VIN, history, mileage, accident records and technical condition. If something does not add up, we recommend walking away — that is cheaper than repairs later.
Can you help me choose the vehicle?
Yes. We search for suitable cars, check their condition and history and advise which offer is genuinely the best.
How is the car insured during transport?
Every vehicle is covered by CMR carrier liability insurance. We are happy to show the certificate before loading.
Do you transport non-running or damaged vehicles?
Yes. We load with a winch or hydraulic arm; difficult loading carries a surcharge which the calculator includes.
Is VAT payable when importing from the EU?
When buying from a private person inside the EU you pay no additional VAT in Slovakia. When buying from a dealer or outside the EU, VAT and customs duty may apply — we tell you in advance.
How does payment work?
A deposit once the breakdown is confirmed, the balance on handover of the vehicle. Everything with an invoice and a written contract.
Do you also import EVs, campervans and motorcycles?
Yes. We transport cars, SUVs, EVs, campervans, vans and motorcycles — including several vehicles on one trip.
