Hi,

I am going to bring my car over to Czech Republic when I move and i believe i will need to register it as well as getting an insurance locally.
Has anyone done it before and/or has information about the way to do it.
Can anyone recommend a good car insurance?

thanks in advance for your help.

i get the feeling you are in belium. if so iam from england and being part of the eu means we dont need a visa. the only reason i am getting a temporary place of residence is so that i can register the cars here. my father in law helped me do it we went t an office in budjovice. will find out which one it took 25 days to get it will ,let you know how i get on next week keep in touch pete

Hiya,

I am moving to Plzen Czech Republic from Hertfordshire/England. Just wanted to know if it's best to bring my own car and get it registered in Czech Republic or buy a 2nd hand there? And what is the registration and process?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Giouchki

Hi there,

Moved here 4 years ago and brought my cars with me.

You need the rodni cislo, which is the identification number of your resident card in Czech Republic. Once you get that, bring your car to SPZ and they'll do the rest for you. :-)

Cheers

I am thinking of moving in CZ and bring my own car which is right hand steering, did you bring your own right hand steering cars? and what is the procedure of registering your car here?
Can you tell me at which government or regional department I should apply in order to register my car here?

Does anybody have any more information about this? I have a right-hand drive car and I was thinking of taking it to Czech. How long does it take to register it and does the car need many changes done to it to make it road legal in Czech?
