Importing a car from Italy? Here is the full cost.
The listing price is not the final cost. Here you see transport computed over the route's actual distance, registration fees from each country's own rules, the paperwork at departure and on arrival — and, where we have enough observations, how far apart the same models are priced between the two markets.
What the journey costs
The costs that can be computed in advance. What cannot be computed without the specific vehicle is written out explicitly rather than buried in a round number.
| Transport (share of a car carrier) | €868 |
| Registration and paperwork in Romania | €180 |
| Total cost, excluding the car | €1.048 |
Not included: RAR fee depending on the procedure, RCA insurance, plates and options
Paperwork and steps, on both ends
What to do where you buy, and what to do at home. Technical terms stay in the local language: that exact word is printed on the document you need to ask for.
