To help take full advantage of driving your new Audi while experiencing the culture and history of Europe, Audi of America offers fourteen (14) convenient European drop off locations at no additional cost to you.
To ensure a worry-free and safe transport back to your dealer, please schedule your vehicle drop off at least four days prior to your return trip and within the maximum temporary registration and insurance period of your vehicle. Drop off appointments are necessary for all locations and can be made either by phone or email. Please be advised that vehicle drop offs are available Monday through Friday with varied hours of operation, so please make sure to contact your preferred office to avoid any unexpected delays. All locations are closed on nationally recognized German holidays.
It is also important to remove all personal effects and non-factory installed accessories, such as luggage, car seats, etc. before dropping off your vehicle. Personal effects may not be returned to you, and removing them from your vehicle will help avoid possible delays and additional costs from US Customs. Only the original spare tire, jack, and tools are shipped with the car.
