Carnet de Passages - how important is it?
How important is it obtaining a “Carnet de Passages” before leaving UK, or is it possible to obtain it along the Atlantic route from the countries I’m passing thought. (Morocco - Mauritania - Mali- Burkina Faso – Ghana – Togo – Benin - Nigeria)
I’m presently living in Cologne (Germany) and a member of ADAC (equivalent to AA or RAC). I intend to abandon the car in Nigeria and fly back. The Peugeot 505 valued at £800 which I’m driving down is presently registered in my name in UK, The Lady I spoke to at ADAC informed me they only issue “Carnet de Passages” to German registered cars.
Otherwise, those the car need to have a valid road tax disc and MOT to apply for a Carnet de Passages in UK as both ran out end of last month (September). And do the UK (AA or RAC) or German (ADAC) require prove of a return journey with the car before a refund of the Carnet de Passage.
HELP !! Any advice Please. Thanks
