What a German-registered car actually costs you
Set the number of years, whether the car still needs German papers, and how much storage you want. The figures are our published fees — the same for a hatchback and a supercar.
| Registration fee (one-off) | €500 |
| Correspondence address — €1,188/year × 3 | €3,564 |
| Total over 3 year(s) | €4,064 |
That is about €113 per month across the whole period. Insurance premium and German vehicle tax are passed through at cost and are not part of this figure.

Registration is a one-off €500. The German correspondence address that receives all authority mail is €99 per month, billed annually as €1,188. It stays at that amount for as long as you keep the car. Full breakdown on the pricing page, and the German vehicle tax has its own Kfz-Steuer calculator.
