North Americans & Carnet's
To any North Americans out there, how did you pay for your Carnets to various parts of the world? Seeing how the CAA only issues a handful per year, it is really un-necessary and unrealistic for them to subsidize them, unlike the RAC/ADAC in Europe, where thousands are issued a year. Anyways, it seems the only way to do it here would be a bank loan (hoping you have some credit left) or paying cash. I wonder if there are any other ways of outlaying wads of cash for a Carnet, without having to loose such a huge chunk of money initially. Grant and Susan, you're on a BMW GS100, which I assume has got to be valued around $10000 -- that would make your Carnet very expensive...Any pointers? (It seems my bank loan may not be a bank loan after all. If only I paid that bill!)
Thanks,
DON.
