USAREUR-Plated Vehicles and Licenses

U.S. military identification card holders in Germany (service members, family members and assigned civilians and some contractors) are allowed to register their personally-owned vehicles with the U.S. military. These vehicles are not subject to German taxes or vehicle registration.

The same people are eligible to obtain a United States Army Europe driver's license. With this license, ID card holders are authorized to drive a USAREUR-plated vehicle or other German-registered vehicles. They are also authorized to purchase a limited amount of gasoline or diesel fuel without paying taxes.

USAREUR Driver's Licenses

Most people with Stateside licenses can receive a USAREUR license after taking a written exam. Want to practice for the test? You can download the Windows program AutobahnReady.exe and install it on your computer. Download the file, which is a self-expanding compressed file, double-click on it to unzip the setup files to a temporary location, then run Setup.exe to install the program.

Vehicle Registration

Vehicles brought from the U.S. or purchased locally must be registered either with USAREUR or with the German authorities (which includes payment of all applicable German fees and taxes). All shipped vehicles and used vehicles purchased in Germany must pass a safety inspection before they can be registered.
