London to Cape Town
 

As I have very little understanding of the Carnet I hope someone can help.

My plan is to ride my bike, which I bought in the UK, from London to Cape town and then register the bike in South Africa.

How do I cancel, and get back my deposit, for the carnet once in SA?

Any other advise on this matter would be appreciated.

I guess you´ll have to fax the proof of permanent import, duty paid etc, as new registration paper.
Not sure though,

Matt

Same plan Boet.
When are you leaving and which route you taking?

ps I agree with the previous chap's comment. will have to supply doc's of import tax paid to RAC.

Ja Kerels so wil ons almal huis toe. (Ons moet maar ons eie forum stig)

Isnt it possible to get insurance as cover for the collateral and when you import the bike there will be no need to get the money back from the RAC.

Ultra & GWC

email me and I will put you on a mailing list of "local" biking saffa's

Have your Carnet issued to exclude the SOuthern African customs zone (SA,Nam,Bot).
That way you'll have your carnet completed at your border of entry and be issued a temporary import permit, which is valid for about 6 months & gives you plenty of time to import your bike.

Hey Guys,

I'm plannign a similar trip to yours, home via the rest of Africa to Cape town. If you havent left already are you able to offer advise on the following points:

1. route to take (i'm in early planning hoping to leave in July)
2. Particualr issues with Visa's on the route suggested (I'm on a SA passport)
3. how you went about applying for the visa's.

Look forward to hearing from you.

And another one!
Will be heading back to SA as well

We should all share plans or at least contact details so we can possible get in toush along the way

IF you are doing the west coast route , you dont need a carnet !

Hey, wait for me, me too is heading back with a transit van.....want to leave as soon as possible, leave message here and I'll send on further contact details, the more the better in a convoy and want to head direct, skipping the monkeys..

Thats interesting, would you please tell us the names of the country this is so, then I can workout my route to SA, I see you are in Spain and guess you have one this trip before.
Cheers

Javier,

Are you sure about that last comment?

You might want to double check before you go.

None of us would like surprises now would we !
