talking about the cost!
The cost of the deposit and paperwork.
I don't have a carnet but I will need to get one to go to India and Pakistan. Also Nepal, I think.
I'm waiting to the last minute so the declaraed value of the bike comes down.
I enquired about insurance bonds to teh RAC; the bonds they were the cheapest option in the UK . But, provided you returned the Carnet the Passage at the end of its year validity, the total cost climbed over £1500 (pound sterling)!
None of the German, Swiss or Austrian riders I met in Centra Asia had paid anything like it and told me it was because the German automotive association could arrange the carnet and bonds for a lot lot less.
I dont remember the figures the told me but they were in the few hundreds of Euros.
