Ship Your Car To Or From Denmark

Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• For most vehicles, the cost of shipping to Denmark from the U.S. comes to roughly $2,000 to $4,400.
• Because of its proximity to Western Europe, Denmark and other Scandinavian countries are fairly popular delivery routes that run frequently.

There are two different routes you can take if you would like to import your vehicle into Denmark.  Both of these options require a little research and, of course, the assistance of a reputable auto transport company.

• The first option is to apply for permission to drive the vehicle in Denmark temporarily without paying any registration fees.
• The second option is to permanently import the vehicle into Denmark and complete all steps to have it properly registered.

Required Documents For Shipping A Vehicle To Denmark

1. Certificate of registration
2. Proof of insurance
3. Proof of residence for at least 12 months

Another consideration is that registration taxes for vehicles brought into Denmark is extremely high, generally between 100% to 200% of the value of the vehicle. Make sure you include this cost when assessing how much the total cost will be for shipping a vehicle to Denmark from another country.

Temporary Import

This scenario would only take place if you are going to stay in Denmark as a student or you are working at a temporary job.  Further information, along with the required application form can be found here.

• Documents needed – Current Vehicle Registration and Proof of Length of Stay/Duration
• In addition, you will be required to pay a fee of DKK 400 (approximately $73 US Dollars) and submit the receipt along with the application and above-referenced documents

Permanent Import

This is a much more common situation and requires you to import and properly register your vehicle in Denmark.  This process MUST be completed within 14 days of arriving in the country.

Steps of Procedure:

• After arriving, the vehicle must pass an extended registration inspection given by an approved vehicle inspection center (http://www.trafikstyrelsen.dk/EN/Vehicle-inspection-and-vehicles.aspx).
• Request a valuation from the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles at http://www.skat.dk/tastselv.
• After requesting the evaluation, you will receive a receipt that you should keep in your vehicle so that you will be able to legally drive until your registration tax has been calculated and paid.
• You will receive notification of the amount of registration tax due based on the valuation of your car and it is payable at one of four motor registry offices immediately.
• Once the registration tax is paid, you are eligible to buy a number plate (the Danish equivalent of the US license plate).

The Danish Register of Motor Vehicles also referred to as SKAT, has a great website (www.skat.dk) with an abundance of information.  Because rules and regulations are constantly changing, it is really in your best interest to check the website prior to scheduling the shipment of your vehicle, and again, ensure you select a trustworthy auto transport company to make the entire process move along smoothly.
