Bringing a car from Austria
Austria is the shortest Western European route to Bulgaria: Vienna is about a thousand kilometres from Sofia by road through Hungary and Romania or through Serbia. Many carriers on the Germany run stop in Austria on the way, which makes a single car from Vienna easy to fit onto a transporter that is already travelling.
What to hand over
The Austrian registration certificate (Zulassungsschein), the purchase contract or invoice, and the keys. Cars from Salzburg and the west are often collected on the same run as cars from southern Germany.
