I have talked to Carol from the RAC (carnet@rac.co.uk) who says the RAC will not object to anyone who wishes to apply to another organisation.
Until the end of this year, Anna from the ADAC (cdp@adac.de) still needs written confirmation from the RAC, which Carol has helpfully obliged with.
There were NO questions asking about the current location of the vehicle...
For me it's a big cash win compared to the RAC. Last year, on a £5k motorcycle i paid £1900 and hope to see ~£1000 back - a cost of ~£900.
For the ADAC carnet, i'm paying:
1500 Euro deposit
295 Euro fee (per year)
3.50 Euro postage or ~53.91 Euro courier (i took the latter being in a hurry)
I will get 1500 Euro back, giving me a cost of ~£250.
That equates to over a month of good living!
