What is Temporary Transit ?

Temporary Transit (TT) or buy-back is a customs and tax provision that allows any person residing outside the European community territory (including French overseas departments and territories) to have a new vehicle during their stay in Europe and to acquire it for a limited period, exempt from customs duties and VAT.

You thus benefit from a specific French registration allowing free movement in Europe. It is also possible to take advantage of this scheme without having to pay the full price of the vehicle.

This formula, known under the generic term of buy-back, is very similar to a car rental.

At the end of the period, the vehicle is taken back by the company managing this system. In TT, you reserve a new vehicle of the Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, or DS brand, model and engine type of your choice.

The TT package includes a new vehicle; unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance without excess, 24/7 assistance

Packages, Delivery and Return

Depending on the brand, packages are offered starting from 17 or 21 days, departing from about forty airports or cities in France, and about ten airports in Europe.

You can pick up the vehicle in one city and return it in another, including abroad (Barcelona, Lisbon, Brussels, etc.)

If you want a car seat, the system in place involves purchasing the seat, which remains your property at the end of the vehicle use period

Please note, the request must be made in advance , at least three weeks prior to allow the managing company time to process the application.
