Entering Russia with my car
I am entering Russia with my car in the next few weeks. It's a Toyota 4WD. It will be the second time that I enter Russia with it.
Last time was my first time, I was a little naive and inexperienced, and now reckon I got fleeced. I don't remember the exact amounts, but I remember paying about $90 for a month's insurance, and paying to have some customs document for the car (and paying a bribe to have it for a month rather than 14 days), paying for some health insurance, and something else too. All in all it came to about $150 as I remember.
Anyway, I was just interested in what others have experienced. I now know that it's possible to extend the customs document for the car free of charge. I also know that as a British Citizen I'm covered by European Health Insurance (i.e. that provided by my country).
So this time I'm hoping to pay a lot less.
Does anyone know roughly what I should pay? What's been you're experience taking in a car?
Thanks
Daniel
