Would it not be easier and cheaper, to drive it to the UK from Poland?

Took me 26 hrs from Portsmouth to Zawoja with a few nap stops.I have a VW Passat Diesel and it took the best part of two tanks each way.Got the ferry from Dover to Dunkirk.On my way home I broke the journey up and stopped in Castrop.

Took me about 26 hours doing Krakow to London in an old van that wouldn't do more than 60mph and with regular breaks to rest. I recommend the Dover-Dunkirk crossing with NorfolkLine ferries - much cheaper than the Dover-Calais route in my experience. If I had been doing that run in a car I reckon I could have done it in about 18 hours.

Thats interesting.What route did you take?

benszymanskiThreads: 9 Posts: 510 Joined: Feb 29, 08	Jul 9, 09, 11:47 / #
actually I have done that route about 5 times now (return journeys) and sometimes I change the route a little bit but basically there are 2 main routes. There is the one that goes through Germany via Berlin as per ViaMichelin.com or you can do a similar route but go via Dresden instead.

Wouldn't it be less aggro to buy a British registered car ? As long as you look carefully enough, there are some good bargains to be had on the 2nd hand car market.

Used cars in the UK are so cheap now. You could probably buy a car here for the cost of the journey from Poland to the UK, and it would probably run for a year, then next year you do the same :)

It would also mean that you wouldn't have to register with the DVLA after six months.
