Vehicles
Whether you bring your own car with you to France or decide to buy or lease a vehicle when you arrive, our team will handle all the paperwork and make sure everything goes smoothly.
Vehicle Registration
Registering a non-EU vehicle in France is a multi-tiered process involving several different organisations. There are further complications if your car is a collector’s item or the manufacturer no longer exists. We take care of obtaining all the necessary documents from the French authorities, the payment of taxes to ANTS for the registration of your car and the entire administrative process until you receive your Carte Grise by post. The process usually takes between 2 – 4 months.
Driving Licence Exchange
The rules for driving license exchange in France differ according to your personal circumstances and the type of license you hold. Our team will help you gather together all the necessary documents and make sure you have everything you need for a successful application.
Car Purchase
Purchasing a car in France can be complex, with dealers often hesitant to sell at a distance. Led by our Founder and CEO, Richard Hammond, who has long standing connections in the motor industry, our team will search for your ideal vehicle and negotiate with dealerships on your behalf. We handle all the necessary paperwork to ensure the car can be registered in your name. We also offer fast and secure transportation, delivery and storage options.
Temporary Number Plates
We start by helping you to collect all the necessary documents for obtaining temporary vehicle plates. These include proof of vehicle purchase, identification documents, proof of insurance, and any other relevant documentation. We meticulously check these documents to ensure their adequacy and compliance with French regulations, which avoids any delays or issues with the authorities.
We make sure that all paperwork is accurately completed and submitted on time, allowing you to legally drive your vehicle while waiting for your permanent plates.
Car Leasing
