Most providers sell one setup and call it the only one. We publish both, with the same price, and tell you which is the awkward one for your case before you pay anything.
Our Brandenburg UG is entered as keeper; you stay the legal owner through the purchase contract. Fewest documents, fastest route, insured on our fleet agreement with AXA or Zurich.
You are the registered keeper yourself, Teil I and II in your name, still without a German Anmeldung. Needs apostilled ID, power of attorney and foreign residency proof, and takes longer.
The FZV separates the keeper (Halter) from the owner (Eigentümer). Leasing companies and employers register vehicles on this basis every working day; nothing about the structure is hidden from the Zulassungsstelle.
Street-legal in all 27 EU states plus the UK, Switzerland and Norway. No 30-day export-plate clock, no annual re-registration, no border paperwork.
Under the German vehicle registration regulation (FZV), the registered keeper — the Halter — does not have to be the owner. Companies register vehicles for employees and leasing clients every day on exactly this basis. We offer two models — pick the structure that fits you.
Our Brandenburg UG is entered as Halter in the Fahrzeugbrief. You stay the legal owner (Eigentümer) through the purchase contract. Fast — insured on our AXA / Zurich fleet policy, registered in ~5 business days.
You are entered as Halter directly in the Fahrzeugbrief — Teil I & II in your name — without needing a German Anmeldung. Handled via our legal framework with apostilled ID, power of attorney and foreign residency proof. Higher one-time setup, your own AXA or Zurich policy with your no-claims.
Fully legal under FZV. Nothing is hidden from the authorities — the Zulassungsstelle sees the exact structure.
We carry the paperwork. Registration, vehicle tax, insurance administration and TÜV deadlines run through our Brandenburg office.
You simply drive. Plates and documents ship to your dealer. Full EU coverage through AXA or Zurich from day one.

Setup (€500) and service (€99/month, 12 months upfront) never change. What varies is the insurance premium and the vehicle tax, and both are billed to you at cost. Move the sliders for a realistic range for your car.
Insurance & vehicle tax above are realistic ranges based on your inputs — billed at the insurer's and tax office's actual rates with zero markup. Our own fee is fixed: €500 one-time plus €99/month billed 12 months upfront, and +€400 once if the car still carries foreign registration papers.

Yes. German law (FZV) distinguishes between the vehicle's keeper (Halter) and its owner (Eigentümer). Our Brandenburg UG becomes the registered keeper — exactly as leasing companies and employers do for thousands of vehicles — while you remain the legal owner. Nothing is hidden from the authorities.
No. That's the entire point of the service. Our UG's German address serves as the keeper address for registration, tax and insurance.
You do — fully and at all times. The purchase contract is in your name. In Model A we only hold the keeper role on the registration certificate, defined in a written service agreement you can terminate. In Model B you obviously own the car completely — you are both owner and keeper.
Five business days on average from complete documents to plates at your dealer. Complex cases (imports, classic cars) can take longer — we tell you upfront.
Our own fee is €500 one-time for the registration plus €99 per month for the service, billed as a single annual payment of 12 months upfront. If the vehicle still carries foreign registration papers, converting them to German ones costs €400 once. Indoor storage near Berlin is an optional €290 per month. On top of that you pay the insurance premium and the vehicle tax at cost, with no markup — those depend on the car. De-registration later is included and takes about 15 minutes, remotely.
AXA and Zurich. Policies include full EU coverage from the day of registration, including green-card territories where applicable.
