Importing cars from Germany
Germany is the largest used car market among European countries. The advantages of importing cars from Germany are mainly regularly serviced vehicles with original service books and full service history and higher car equipment. The quality of German roads is reflected especially in the condition of the cars and their wear and tear, which is generally much lower than that of Slovak cars, and thus the vehicle does not require large, expensive repairs immediately after purchase. The used car market in Germany offers a wide range of choices and you can choose between not dozens but hundreds of cars that meet your expectations for a new car. What’s more, you can find cars that you can’t normally buy in Slovakia or in equipment that is not offered in Slovakia.
When importing a car from Germany, you have two options:
standard import – 750 € to 950 €
within 5 – 10 working days
expedited import – 1 000 € to 1 350 €
within 2-3 working days

Importing cars from Austria
Cars from Austria are known for being mostly in very good condition. The owners provide them with regular service in an authorized service center, not to mention that the roads in this country are in better condition than ours, the Slovak ones. The chassis of the cars do not get as much wear and tear, which is reflected in their condition and functionality. The offer of vehicles in Austria is on a similar level as the offer in Germany, however, compared to Germany, importing a car from Austria is often worthwhile due to the lower costs of transporting the vehicle to Slovakia.

Import of cars from the Czech Republic
The market of the Czech Republic is accessible to Slovaks mainly because of the linguistic affinity. Prices are usually a bit better than in the Czech Republic, especially when the exchange rate between the euro and the Czech koruna is good. There are about twice as many cars on offer in the Czech Republic as in Slovakia, so you can find a good price for a car that is not available in Slovakia. A large number of cars are imported from Germany, but because of the advantages of distance and language, Slovaks prefer to pay a little extra and buy a car in the Czech Republic. The technical condition, mileage and disguised repairs are similar to ours in Slovakia, so when checking the car before buying it, you need to be cautious and not fall for a seemingly advantageous offer.
When importing a car from the Czech Republic, you have two options:
standard import – 300 € to 550 €

Importing cars from other countries
We can also import your car from other countries than those already mentioned. Other regular locations from where our clients like to import cars are, for example, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, France or Spain. In our experience, we do not recommend importing vehicles from Italy, as the technical condition of the vehicles is often unsatisfactory, but of course, if you are interested, we can also import a vehicle from this country.
