3000 Eu is alot, do you get most of it back when you surrender your carnet?
We have to use RAC because we have Brit registered bikes. For Egypt it is X 800% the bike value but we can use an insurance bond.

Not most of it. All of it.

Only problem could be, if you bike got lost/stolen :rolleyes2:

Adding myself to the thread.

I'll be riding across Asia this summer, and want to do either/both sides of africa, starting around aug/sep, so the timing could be perfect.

I'm 34, English. Lived in the US for a while. Ride a 650GS Sertao.

Keen to do at least some of the sketchy places in a group.

Hi Ron,
I will be at Noordkapp in July starting a trip home to Cape Town. I am in a silver VW Caravelle. What bike you on ? I will look out for you.

Hi Atlas,

I will be on a BMW R1200 GS Adventure with a white tank, although I will probably be at the North cape in June not July, but one never knows :mchappy:

Hi Philip,

Would be nice if you could join, have you already decided for the eastern or western route?

Hi Christian,

The ADAC confirmed that it is a 3000 Euro deposite that you get back, when the bike is back in Europe.
But unfortunately :( for you, it only applies to bikes registered in Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark or Finland. Fortunately mine is registered in the Netherlands :mchappy:. 8 x vehicle value would be a bit too much on a GSA.

ADAC Carnet
 

Hi,
My bike is registered in Louisiana, USA and is currently under an ADAC carnet. I suggest you make the application and see what they say.

I have used the Canadian carnet in Egypt and did not have to post more than the regular deposit which was no where near 800%.

Hey all,

I am planning a trip from Mozambique up to Morocco Aug - November. My plans to go through the W. coast are not looking good. Instead, I'll probably pass through E. Africa and try to cut through the Sudans & Chad to get back West.

All to say, I will likely be in the Sudan area around the same as you all. Lets try to corrdinate.

doh here I'm sitting in Kent - just decided a few monhs ago to move back to Cape Town..... my GSA's been put up for sale here in the UK an I'm planning on buying another in SA due to the issues with importing to SA.

Leaving the UK end of July (although ticket is booked for end August) .... wish I'd checked this before- woul have been perfect to ride home with a felow Saffer!

Will be with you o the trip in thought! :thumbup1:
