Bringing a car from Germany
Germany is the most common route for cars bought abroad and brought to Bulgaria. Carriers load from dealers and private sellers in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and around Berlin and Hamburg, and usually drive through Austria, Hungary and Romania or through Serbia. Southern Germany is the shortest and cheapest leg; Hamburg and the Rhine-Ruhr add around six hundred kilometres and about a third to the price.
What to hand over
Registration certificate Part I and Part II (Zulassungsbescheinigung), the purchase contract or invoice, and every key. A car that has been deregistered needs no export plates when it travels on a transporter.
