Temporary Transit (TT) is an alternative to car rental in Europe.
Temporary Transit is a French customs and tax program based on temporary admission. It allows individuals who reside outside the European Union or in a French Overseas Department or Territory to use a brand-new vehicle during their stay in Europe. The vehicle is provided exempt from customs duties and VAT.
Thanks to its special French registration, the vehicle may be driven throughout Europe, except in Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.
