Home » Reader question » Reader question: Buying a car in the Netherlands if you have deregistered?
Dear readers,
I have been deregistered from the Netherlands for a few years now, but I still have an apartment there. I spend at least three months there every year and use my (old) car. However, it recently crashed through no fault of my own. Now I am not allowed to buy a new car because I am not registered in the Netherlands.
Do other readers have experience with this?
Regards,
Hans
I tried to buy a caravan which also failed.
Finally put in my son's name.
It will be exactly the same with a car.
Yes, it is forbidden to have a car or motorcycle in your name if you are not registered in a Dutch municipality ... so just buy new in the name of someone you trust and then drive his or her car, preferably with a Dutch driving license ... .if you only have a Thai driving license you can also drive in the Netherlands for a certain period of time, just check with the insurance company whether it allows this or whether the car and you are insured….if you rent a car with your Thai driving licence, that is no problem because the cars of rental companies are insured even if a 'foreigner' is driving
I have no experience with this. But why would you buy a car for 3 months of use?
If you already live in a larger city I would combine things I wanted to visit and rent a car for a week every now and then.
Or go off some brands and lease a car?
A short lease contract with a car leasing company or a certain brand will cost you 200 Euros per month and then you are free from everything and don't have to think about anything. No maintenance, No insurance etc
Namely you pay 3 months of road tax, you pay a maximum of insurance without excess, I estimate 150 euros per month. Added to the depreciation, it is an expensive hobby.
.
I think this is the best idea here. Even if you buy a small car. If you are only in the Netherlands for three months, it is still more expensive than leasing a car for a short period of time. I would too, if I thought I needed to. You then always have a good car, never have to think about maintenance, insurance and tax and in your case, looking for a new one because of an accident…
Oh if you buy something in someone else's name and purely for the name. In addition, if the car is not on the public road, suspend it on departure via RDW in Veendam. Also do with the insurance, depending on what is insured, you can let fire, theft, cause from outside go through. You just can't drive it.
The point remains no own risk has been built up, so to pay the main price with insurance.
Leasing is already possible from 170 Euro per month. No hassle with road tax and insurance, maintenance, warranty, etc.
Only 1 example just search for SHORT term lease contracts is also possible

Indeed. When we are in Europe we always rent a car. Avis, for example, has special long-term rates.
Just send an E-mail and ask for rates for the period in question.
No risks, no extra costs. We have 4000 km free per month.
Of course everyone in the Netherlands can buy a car or a caravan. I assume what Hans means is the fact that you are not allowed to put a car on a Dutch license plate if you do not live in the Netherlands. That seems quite logical to me. But you can buy
There are also many who export a car to the country where they reside and are registered. The same thing that I can also buy a car in Germany and then import it into the Netherlands and have it registered. In other words, it concerns registering a vehicle.
Importing from abroad to the Netherlands is a purely tax-technical transaction.
The exporting country deducts the tax and VAT and the importing country, in this case the Netherlands, adds the tax, VAT and BPM.
What matters here is the name of the car, which will not work if you live outside the Netherlands.
Just in the name of daughter, son, nephew or niece and you are helped.
When taking out the insurance, please mention that the driver for the next 1-2-3 weeks is Piet Paaltjes, otherwise the name provider may have a problem when a collision has occurred.

So you can buy and export a car.
Recently sold my car to a Romanian.
So he was allowed to buy my car and put it in his name via export procedure with a temporary license plate.
I've owned a family car for over 10 years and it's going great.
I also have accommodation in NL. You can simply buy a house or apartment even if you live outside the EU. But if you're not registered, they can't send you a ticket if you made a mistake.
Insurance is also in the name of family with me as a regular driver, so that is possible.
Well,
I also come to the Netherlands regularly and then rent a car at “Dollar” if you only stay within the Netherlands very cheap, but do not drive outside the Netherlands, otherwise you pay extra (the main price)
Can be picked up at Schiphol (Hoofddorp) and returned, will take you back to Schiphol for free and hop on the plane, no hassle everything perfectly arranged.
Only residents of the Netherlands can get a license plate in their name. This is regulated in the Road Traffic Act. You should therefore register the new car in the name of someone you trust.
That's right. Strangely, you can buy a house but not a car.

Just a response to Rori, My car costs about 1700 euros per year with insurance and road tax. I'm in Holland for 4 months a year and with suspension of tax and insurance I pay about 570 euros per year. I can't rent a car for that for 4 months. Suspension only means that it has to be off the public road, but I already had a garage anyway. Gr.
Yes, I have the possible solution!
Register with the Chamber of Commerce with an association or foundation, for which you do NOT pay an annual contribution. You then buy a car in the name of the association/foundation. I've been doing for years.
Good luck, Martin.
