Sending a Vehicle from Turkey to Austria: Everything You Need to Know

Driving your own vehicle in Austria's magnificent nature, accompanied by the Alps, is a great pleasure. At Han Bros Cargo, we professionally transport your vehicle from Turkey (car, SUV, motorcycle, or classic vehicle) to Austria so that you can experience this joy. We are by your side with our door-to-door vehicle logistics service to all Austrian cities, from Vienna to Innsbruck, Salzburg to Graz.

Customs and Legislation in Vehicle Shipping

Bringing a vehicle to Austria is subject to different statuses such as personal belongings (moving) or temporary use (green card). Han Bros Cargo experts provide the following services in this process:

  • Personal Belongings Status: If you are moving to Austria permanently, we offer documentation support for your vehicle to enter exempt from customs duty under certain conditions (such as at least 6 months of ownership).
  • Plates and Registration: After the vehicle passes through Austrian customs, we provide consultancy on the declarations to be made with local authorities (Finanzamt) and the plate change process.
  • NoVA Tax: We inform you in advance about the calculation of the emission-based NoVA tax applied to vehicles permanently imported into Austria.

Secure Logistics Models

We offer two main shipping methods according to your preference and the vehicle's value:

  • Multi-Vehicle Carrier: The most economical solution for standard passenger vehicles. We perform secure shipments with our modern trucks with a capacity of 8-10 vehicles.
  • Container and Closed Box: 100% isolated from external factors, specially sealed transport for your luxury, sports, or classic vehicles.
  • Motorcycle Logistics: We guarantee damage-free delivery for motorcycles with custom-made crating and fastening systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days does vehicle shipping to Austria take?

The delivery time for vehicles from Turkey to Austria by road is on average between 7 and 10 business days, depending on customs density.

Which documents are required?

The vehicle registration, a photocopy of the owner's ID, a customs power of attorney, and an Austrian residence permit (if any) are the basic documents.

Do you insure my vehicle?

Yes, every vehicle shipment is under international standard transport insurance (marine or CMR based). A full comprehensive policy is created based on your vehicle's value.

Do you also deliver to cities outside of Vienna?

Yes, we have options for address delivery or customs warehouse delivery to Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, and all towns.

Can I transport items inside the vehicle?

Having personal items inside the vehicle according to customs rules can complicate the vehicle's actual registration process. We recommend only having tire sets or equipment related to the vehicle.
