More and more Germans are discovering the benefits of reimporting from Denmark, especially when it comes to vehicles from the popular brand VW. But what exactly is behind this term, and what advantages does it offer? In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about VW reimport from Denmark, from the legal framework to valuable tips for a smooth process.
Vehicle reimport describes the purchase of a car abroad with subsequent import and registration in Germany. Denmark is particularly popular because VW models are often available at lower prices there.
“Many of my customers are surprised at how much money they can save through a reimport,” reports Lars Jensen, automotive expert from Hamburg. “Especially with VW, a brand with traditionally high prices, this is an attractive option.”

Why are VWs Cheaper in Denmark?
The price differences between Germany and Denmark can be attributed to various factors. Firstly, different tax regulations apply in Denmark, which influence new car prices. Secondly, the exchange rate also plays a role. In addition, the Danish market for certain models or equipment variants is less price-sensitive than the German market. All of this means that you can often purchase your dream car in Denmark at a significantly lower price.
