Temporary Transit, TT car rental, TT, purchase-buyback, is a French customs and tax provision based on the temporary admission regime.
It allows anyone residing outside the European Union or in an Overseas Department/Territory to acquire a new vehicle for a limited period during their stay in Europe, exempt from customs duties and VAT.
Renault, Dacia (TT-Eurodrive offer), and Peugeot, Citroën, DS (Car2Europe offer) each offer their "car rental" formulas based on the TT regime, providing a high-end alternative to traditional rental.
Very similar in operation to traditional rental, these formulas allow you to benefit from a new vehicle for a duration ranging from 7 days to 6 months with comprehensive insurance and no deductible.
Upon taking possession of your vehicle, you have no documents to fill out, no additional fees, no security deposit, no credit card imprint, and no vehicle inspection upon delivery or return.
These four conditions must be met simultaneously to qualify for a TT car rental:
If you are a European Union citizen
If you are a non-European Union citizen
Yes, every year, starting in February, some vehicles become unavailable due to high demand.
