Driving there yourself - bringing a Car
You can bring your own car to Germany without paying customs tax on it, with some preconditions: the car has been in your possession for six months and Germany must be your current place of residence. But importing by ship is expensive and the bureaucracy time-consuming. If you plan on being in Germany for under one year, an international or foreign vehicle registration translated in German is sufficient. However, you must subsequently apply for a German registration, and the TÜV, a vehicle monitoring institution, must inspect the car. And finally the auto must be insured. If you just need a car for occasional use, you’d be better off renting one when you get to Germany.
