Between the countries of the EU, Switzerland,
and Norway the rented motorhomes may be used without
any restriction with the exception of England, Scotland and
Ireland (left hand drive countries). Travel into Eastern
European Countries is also not permitted by Arrantea
Motorhomes.
Most of the Western European States
signed the Schengen Agreement. Between those countries having
signed there are no longer regular passport and custom
controls at their borders. Even though travelers must carry
their passport or ID card with them. Also for driving a
motorhome a valid driver's license is necessary.
All commercial goods and article
for trade must be declared to customs authorities on both
sides of the border.Persons residing outside the
countries of the European Union may ask for a refund of the
paid Sales Taxes (VAT) for items bought in the EU and taken
back home. All items for which a Sales Tax (VAT) refund is
requested, must be presented to customs control together with
the cash receipt when leaving the EU. On each single receipt
the amount paid for Sales Tax (VAT) must be shown. Please
discuss the refund procedure in the shop when buying. Please
note, that Sales Tax (VAT) is always included in the prices.
Even if it is not shown separately on the price
tags.
