Buying a car in Reunion Island

Hi,

To be able to move in Reunion Island, a lot of expatriates think of buying a car, whether new or second-hand.

What are the formalities to buy a vehicle in Reunion Island: car registration, insurance, etc.?

What are the relevant authorities or organizations to contact?

How long does it take and what are the associated costs?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Hi,

Best advise I can give you is to buy your car at a dealership, they will give you all the information about costs and work out the paperwork with you. Delivery of the car depends on the way you would like to pay for your car (loan, bank transfer, leasing etc.)

Good luck!
