Bringing a car from Italy
Most cars from Italy load in the north, around Milan, Turin and Bologna, where dealers and auctions are concentrated. Carriers cross Slovenia and Croatia and continue through Serbia, or go round through Austria and Hungary.
What to hand over
The Italian registration document (libretto di circolazione, or the newer Documento Unico), the certificate of ownership where one was issued, the purchase contract or invoice, and the keys.
