European Delivery Program
The Adventure Begins
The purchase of a new Porsche is more than a mere acquisition. It's an experience. Our European Delivery Program can make it unforgettable.
Imagine the first encounter with your Porsche sports car or SUV - not in downtown traffic, but rather on the very winding roads, autobahns, and the beautiful countryside that inspired its unique design and exhilarating performance. Imagine touring the factories in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig where your Porsche is meticulously crafted, then being presented with your keys' and an even more gratifying opportunity: the chance to tour Europe in rare style behind the wheel of the world's most spirited automobile.
Touring Europe in a new "factory fresh" Porsche represents the ultimate vacation for driving enthusiasts. Fortunately, the Porsche European Delivery Program can easily make that ultimate vacation a reality.
Ultimate Vacation
It begins when you order your new Porsche from an authorized Porsche Center in the United States or Canada for delivery at the factory in Europe. When you arrive in Germany, your first few hours will be spent as the special guest of Porsche. You can visit the Porsche Museum and stroll through a half-century of sport car evolution in Zuffenhausen or experience our state-of-the art facility in Leipzig, the birthplace of the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera. A tour of the factory allows you the opportunity of following in your Porsche's footsteps during its creation. Enjoy lunch at either factory location in the VIP dining room. Shop in the exclusive Porsche Boutique. And feel your anticipation build.
Naturally, the best is saved for last. A Porsche Delivery Consultant will hand you the keys to your new Porsche and acquaint you with its operation and features.
What happens next is up to you. Explore the charm and history of Germany. Sprint to Paris, Rome, Prague or any other exciting European city you choose. Unleash the power of your Porsche on the autobahn or, with the Cayenne, even off-road.
Revel in its precise handling on the countless serpentine back roads. The freedom to tour Europe in exquisite fashion is yours, without the cost and inconvenience of renting or leasing a car.
Porsche's all-inclusive program includes factory delivery, shipment of your automobile to North America, marine insurance, collision and third-party insurance. Even the cab fare from the airport to the Porsche factory and one free hotel night is included!
Eligibility
Any resident of the United States can take advantage of Porsche's European Delivery Program, provided they place a vehicle order with and purchase that vehicle from an authorized Porsche Center. Participants must take delivery of their vehicle in person at the Porsche factory in Germany. Military personnel stationed in Europe are not eligible under the terms of this program. People with special work or study arrangements may be restricted as a result of regulations within the country in which they will be working or studying. (If there is a question concerning eligibility, a diplomatic or counsel office of the host country should be contacted prior to placing the order.)
Procedures
The Porsche European Delivery program involves a few basic steps:
- Place an order with any authorized Porsche Center in North America.
- Choose the model, options, and date you would like to pick up your Porsche in Germany (weekends and German holidays excluded).
- To ensure that you receive the exact Porsche you want on the delivery date you specify, place your order at least 12 weeks prior to delivery. Your dealer may still be able to find you a car in less than 12 weeks, but your selection may be limited by production availability. Delivery dates for special orders involving custom or non-standard colors and interiors are subject to material availability. Please check with your dealer.
- To place the order, fill out the European Delivery Vehicle Order Form with your dealer. The order is subject to confirmation by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. You will need to determine how long you will be driving your Porsche in Europe and have your dealer enter the insurance length you'll need for your Porsche on your European Delivery order form (various insurance time-frames with a maximum of six months) please ask your dealer for specific extended insurance times available). The first two weeks of insurance are included in the program.
Make sure you read and understand all of the conditions printed on the European Delivery Vehicle Order Form. If you have any difficulty in ordering, please do not hesitate to call your dealership or any other authorized Porsche Center.
The Paperwork
Upon receiving final payment, your dealer will present you with your final delivery information, which will include your designated delivery time, hotel and taxi vouchers, and your personal Monroney Label. Please be certain the Monroney Label checks against your copy of the European Delivery Vehicle Order Form regarding the model, options, insurance and delivery date.
Payment
Payment must be made to your authorized Porsche Center. Full payment includes the purchase price of the vehicle that was negotiated with your dealer.
Note: German tax laws require a Value Added Tax (VAT) to be paid on all purchases. Porsche Cars North America requires that your dealer collect the full VAT of 19% at time of payment, in the event that your vehicle is not exported under current Customs guidelines and standards. The VAT payment is fully refundable when your vehicle has cleared customs in North America.
Order Cancellation
Should it be necessary for you to cancel your order, a cancellation fee of 1% of manufacturer's suggested retail price may be assessed. If you have already been given the Monroney Label, you must return it before your dealer will refund the car payment, less the cancellation fee.
Change in Arrival Date
Should you need to change your arrival date in Europe, be certain to contact your dealer before departure so that the Porsche AG Delivery Center can accommodate your new time of arrival.
Additional terms and conditions may apply.
Taking Delivery of Your Porsche
When you pick up your new Porsche, you will need a current passport and a valid driver’s license. (An international driver’s license – available at nominal cost through any AAA auto club office – is suggested to avoid language problems while touring Europe. If you have only your stateside or Canadian license, some countries could request notarized translations.) Any additional insurance premiums will be due at this time (see Helpful Information section). At the time of delivery, in addition to one pristine new Porsche with a full tank of gas, your European Delivery Consultant will present you with the following documents
- Owner’s Manual and Warranty Book
- Insert for Tourist vehicles (clarifying your responsibilities in Europe)
- International Registration booklet
- Yellow and green Proof of Insurance Card
- Porsche Assistance (for personal insurance and various traveler’s aids, valid up to three months)
- Dealer Guide Booklet listing Porsche Authorized Dealers of Europe
- Export Documentation (essential for proving exportation)
- Return Shipment Voucher (for return shipment of your Porsche to North America)
