Anybody out there know if it is possible to drive a T/C Registered motor off the island into Europe?

Karmels is your man Nick .. I'm sure he has answered this question before ..

Good morning, I am sorry but I cannot give any advise on taking a TRNC plated car in to other countries, other than Turkey.
I am also trying to find out if we can take our car into Bulgaria for a holiday.
I had a friend who drove to Italy a few years ago, he said the only problem he has was insurance. Being a TRNC registered he could not get insurance to cover all EU countries, he had to pay at every border.
Sorry this is the only onfo I have.

Where did you want to go in Europe? EU or non EU?

Eu

Sam - here are some posts from Cy44, which may give you some pointers.

Cy44 closed down so long ago means thing will change, giving links to old news is not a good Idea but I know from you it is well meant.
I have tried via the internet to answer this question, as I have mentioned before I would like to drive to Bulgaria for a holiday but have not had any success as yet.
I spend half my time here and the other in Turkey and it is only a days drive to get to Bulgaria.

karmels - hence my comment "But please be aware of the posting dates."

I was well aware that the postings were several years old.

Where did you buy your insurance? Can they not help??
How about Steve Dickinson who sells insurance to a lot of Expats from his office near the Golden Lady, Alsancak or Trevor Hughes who has a site at Lambousa Market.
Following this with interest because I did read that a car had been refused entry into a Balkan country because the TRNC Plates weren't legal??!!!!!!!

First find a Bulgarian then find out if they have driven to Bulgaria
There are a few Bulgarians about in the TRNC they may know people who have driven there or been refused entry

Try asking at the Stroll Inn Karakum, they are Bulgarian Turks, top Fish and Chip takeaway too!

Thanks for the tip, we have a Bulgarian chap who plays golf I will ask him.
