Export Car to Austria - RDW Recognized Export Office Hengelo
Exporting a car from the Netherlands to Austria? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares all the Dutch paperwork so an Austrian buyer can register the vehicle at the local Zulassungsstelle. Austria is a quality-focused market where clean Dutch occasions with full service records - especially SUVs and 4x4s for the Alps - are in steady demand. We arrange the RDW export certificate, deregistration and, for the drive south, the export insurance and export plates in about 15 minutes.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Austria in 2026?
Austrian buyers value the meticulous maintenance culture of Dutch occasions. All-wheel-drive vehicles, SUVs and estates suited to Alpine winters are in particular demand, and Dutch prices are often attractive compared with the Austrian market.
Austria is an EU member, so there are no import duties. However, the buyer must pay the Austrian NoVA (Normverbrauchsabgabe), a one-off standard consumption tax based on the vehicle\'s CO\u2082 emissions, before registration. Registration itself takes place at the Zulassungsstelle using the RDW export certificate and, usually, a passed \u00a7 57a inspection (Pickerl).
The drive is long: roughly 950 km from Hengelo to Vienna via Germany and the A8/A1 autobahn, so many exporters extend the export insurance for extra peace of mind on the way.
