You can also do what I did and get a German carnet - you don't need to have a German registered vehicle or even be resident in Germany. Try the ADAC website (it's got text in English).
I have a Landcruiser and would have had to put up a 15,000 GBP deposit to get it into Egypt and the other worst countries (India, Pakistan and Iran) if I had done it in the UK, but doing it through the ADAC cost me just a 5000 Euro deposit.

When was this? I thought the ADAC stopped this for people outside of Germany.

Hi petefromberkely - ony just seen this. I took out a German carnet in March 2007, although it was post-dated to start in April. I too had heard that the ADAC had stopped issuing them for non-German vehicles, but this rumour proved to be exaggerated. I did have a slight advantage in that I have a German friend and had him interpreting for me and was able to give his (Hannover) address. But I was assured that the only difference this made was that we were able to go in person to the Hannover branch of the ADAC and get the carnet issued there...if I had applied from outside Germany, I would have had to do it by post to the ADAC HQ in Munich. If you speak German, or know someone who can do so for you, let me know if you want me to find out the name of the contact I spoke to in Hannover - she was very helpful.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
