issue a carnet abroad
 

hi all,

I'm planning a trip from south africa to Ethiopia and back through congo => angola

question:

in my country the coast of issue a carnet is 20,000 swiss frank (no matter which vehicle you use)

does any one know if it is possible to issue a carnet in south africa? and do you know a way to contact them (can't find that on the aa.co....za site)

you're lucky you should see how much they are in the UK ! Based on the value of the vehicle and up to 800%. Buy a new bike/car here and its a lot of money.

Anyhow i doubt you can get a carnet for a vehicle outside the registration country. If your vehicle is swiss i think they are the only ones that can issue it. There was a time when the German ADAC would issue them but now they will not. At least not for the UK.

I think the rule is that if your own country has an issuing authourity then no other authourity can issue one for you. You must use your own country. I do not know this for sure but that seems to be the case.

Hi,
I'm not swis but an israeli... The carge is in swiss frank or 81,000 sekel (about 18,000$ us)...
My car value is about 3000$...

In the morning i will call them and find out if they will agree to do that (tha aa in here will be happy to give
me a letter that say that they will not issue a carnet)

Thanks!

I think calling the German ADAC might be the way then. I think they issue carnets for countries that do not have an issuing authourity. Possibly someone else may know more.

So far the aa of south africa will not isue a carnet to non resident...
Thy gave me a contact (karina stephani) in the german aa to try issue a carnet thraugh them...

I will continue to update..

Yair.

I am a resident of Germany, UK and Australia. But it was not possible to get a carnet for my Australian registered motorcycle from another country than Australia. It has to be issued where your vehicle is registered.

Cheers,
Frank

hi all

the only option in to travel without a carnet or to pay a deposit of 800% of the value of my car in my country...
