There are many great reasons to import your next vehicle into Ireland from Cargiant.
The main reason is price! Vehicles cost a lot less in England and
even with tax and shipping costs your new vehicle will cost less than the equivalent car in Ireland.
Cargiant adds to this value package by providing a selection that
is second to none.
With over 33 brands, and up to 5000 cars at great prices Cargiant is your
no hassle, one stop shop for your new car.
In addition to this each Cargiant car receives a comprehensive 114 point quality check,
making this an easy, no risk way to buy.
Another good reason to import is ‘specifications’. Many types
of trim are not available in Ireland, and for the price you’d pay in Ireland,
a Cargiant car could have alloys, aircon, leather and lower mileage!
Its so easy too, and it would make a great excuse to get away for the weekend.
So whether you want to buy a better car for the same price, or you want to make a great saving,
the choice is easy, Cargiant!
Import Costs
Importing a car into Ireland is really easy. In fact it is just
like any other car in Ireland. You need to pay VRT, tax and insurance, the only difference is,
your new car has never been in Ireland before so the VRT is new.
If you bring a vehicle into Ireland from
abroad you must show proof of ownership.
Cargiant will supply everything you need by
providing the vehicle registration document.
The Certificate of Permanent Export will be completed for you by Cargiant.
Once in Ireland you then need to pay the applicable VRT
by the end of the next working day following its arrival into Ireland.
As the car is used, you will need to fill out a VRT4 form.
You pay the VRT charged after your vehicle has been inspected at the VRO.
Once the vehicle has been registered by the Revenue
Commissioners and the VRT paid, you will receive:
A receipt for the VRT paid showing the registration number assigned to your car.
You can obtain vehicle registration plates from any motor dealer.
You must display the registration number within three days.
And,
A RF 100 form for use when you are applying for motor tax.
You must pay your tax to legally drive on Irish roads. This is done
by going to your closest road tax office.
You will receive your new Irish registration certificate after you have applied for motor tax.
N.B: If your imported car is over 4 years old you need
to through the NCT (National Car Testing) process. The NCT on an imported vehicle is due on
the anniversary date of first registration in the country of origin. To complete your NCT:
Simply take your Vehicle Registration Certificate to your nearest
NCT centre and have the vehicle input on the NCT database so that a record of your vehicle is kept.
The next day, a test can be booked for your vehicle by contacting NCT.
Obviously this should be done immediately after the registration ticket
is received if the car is already over 4 years old.
How is VRT calculated?
The VRT payable is a percentage of the "Open Market Selling Price" (OMSP).
An On-Line VRT Enquiry System is available at www.ros.ie to view
click here.
You can use this to calculate a VRT estimate for a range of passenger vehicles. It is
not possible to include exact information here on what the OMSP of your personal vehicle will be -
it depends on market values at the time, the age, engine size and roadworthiness condition
of your vehicle.
So whether you want to buy a better car for the same price, or
you want to make a great saving, the choice is easy, Cargiant!
