Car import from Germany: The relaxed way to transfer to Austria

Germany remains the most popular market for Austrian car buyers. The selection is larger, the prices often attractive. But once the purchase contract is signed, logistical planning often begins. Many buyers search online for "Car transfer Germany to Austria" and ask themselves: Pick it up yourself or have it picked up?

We show you how to save time and why transport on own wheels is often the most efficient solution.

The question of license plates: We take care of the authorities

Anyone who picks up their car themselves knows the effort: You have to go to the German vehicle registration office, apply for short-term license plates and have plates embossed. Although the "yellow license plates" are generally tolerated, the bureaucratic effort on site costs nerves and time.

Our service: If you commission us, you do not have to worry about the German authorities. We organize the appropriate license plates for the transfer trip (e.g. export license plates). Your vehicle will be transferred properly without you having to travel extra for it.

External wheels vs. Own wheels: Cost & Flexibility Comparison

When searching for transport options, many come across the term external wheels. However, a distinction must be made here, because the price and performance differences are enormous:

  • Consolidated transport (Truck): This is the classic forwarding solution. It is often cheap, but sluggish. You have to wait until the truck is full and strictly follow the forwarding agent's route plans.
  • Individual transport on trailer: Although this variant offers – just like us – high flexibility and desired dates, it is usually more expensive. The reason: In addition to the driver, the towing vehicle, the trailer and the correspondingly higher fuel consumption must also be calculated.
  • Transfer on own wheels (Our solution): We offer you the flexibility of individual transport at a fair price. Since our driver travels by train and drives your vehicle directly, there are no costs for transport equipment. You only pay for the pure transfer and receive your car quickly and directly.
