Do it yourself — or add only the help you need
Every import starts with a free assessment. Afterwards you decide: handle everything yourself with your checklist and PDF dossier, or request offers for individual services from independent vendors.
Self-guided — free
Cost breakdown with official rates, a step-by-step checklist and a PDF dossier for customs, inspection and registration. No vendor involved.
Add-on services
Available now: the CHF 49 car research package (up to 10 car models searched across EU marketplaces + 3 history checks). For further vendor services you can join the waitlist below — we email you once they can be booked.
Who you contract with: Import Pilot is a broker only. For every service you choose the provider yourself, and each contract is concluded directly between you and the selected vendor. Import Pilot is not a party to these contracts and does not perform the services itself.

Typical saving vs searching one platform only
about EUR 1’984 (6.8 %)
Median difference between the 3 cheapest comparable private offers on a single German platform and the 3 cheapest across all the EU marketplaces we search. Measured for 12 popular models (2020 or newer, max. 80,000 km) on 2026-10-17.
Range 434 to 23’650 EUR depending on the model. Snapshot of asking prices, not a guarantee. A single German portal such as mobile.de blocks automated access, so AutoScout24 Germany was used as the one-platform comparison. Very cheap offers can hide problems, which is why 3 history checks are included.
