Carnet - new question?
Hi everyone
I have done a lot of searching on here to find my answer but I can't see the question asked anywhere. I have also written to Paul at RAC, using his email address that I got from this site, just over two weeks ago and have still not received a response.
Myself and a friend are planning on riding from the UK to our home town of Cape Town. Obviously we will be needing a carnet for some of the countries in Africa, however we are not planning on returning the bikes to the UK. They would be left at our houses in SA.
Of course we would do all of the relevant importing requirements for SA, but I do not understand how the carnet would work. From my understanding the 'deposit' for the carnet gets reimbursed when the vehicle returns to UK shores, but what happens if it is not going to be returning?
Is there such a thing as a one way carnet? Of course I would not want to pay the huge excess of the full carnet to not get any of it back in the end!
Looking forward to any response!
Regards,
Chris
