Do you want to export a car from the Netherlands to Italy? Auto Export Document in Hengelo is an RDW-recognized export office that prepares all Italian export paperwork. Italian buyers appreciate rust-free northern-European occasions with a documented service history. We arrange the RDW export certificate, deregistration, proof of discharge and – when you drive the car south – the export insurance with Green Card and white export plates, in roughly 15 minutes.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Italy?
Italy is a solid market for Dutch used cars, especially models and specification levels that are scarce or expensive on the Italian market. Buyers value the clean bodywork and full maintenance records of Dutch occasions.
As an EU member, Italy charges no import duties on Dutch cars. Registration runs through the Motorizzazione Civile and a local ACI/PRA agency, where the car is entered into the PRA register. The RDW export certificate is the leading import document.
The drive from Hengelo to northern Italy is about 1,400 km via Germany and either Switzerland or Austria across the Alps. Switzerland is outside the EU, so if you route through it keep your documents ready at the border; the Austrian route stays inside the EU.
