HOW MANY KINDS OF CUSTOMS GUARANTEE DEPOSIT ARE THERE?

 There are three types of payment methods available for providing customs guarantee:

1. CASH DEPOSIT METHODYou can deposit your existing funds in foreign currency such as EURO, USD, or Turkish Lira, which can be immediately withdrawn on the same day in foreign currency when you close the registration of the vehicle.
   
   
2. SPONSOR COMPANY SUPPORT: If you are an expat working for a company or have a company that you know, you can solve the customs guarantee issue with a "bank guarantee letter" given to you within the limits of the company's bank account without cash deposit, which is a method preferred by top-level executives and directors working in foreign companies and is resolved by the corporate company's finance department.
   
   
3. TURING SECURITY COMMITMENT:You can provide a bank guarantee letter obtained in return for a security at a Turkish bank for your own property, or for a property owned by a close family member such as your mother or father, up to the deposit amount calculated by the bank, and submit it to the Turing Auto Institution or the Customs Directorate where the transaction will be carried out. This is the most preferred method. You can also solve the issue without making a cash deposit by obtaining a bank guarantee letter using your own resources.

The most frequently asked question by our customers about Turing guarantee is:

If I give the Turing guarantee for a Tax Free car that I bought, will it cost the same as a taxed car in Turkey?

Here is an example in response to this misinformation:

As an example, the 2021 model new Mercedes Benz G500 AMG SUV vehicle sold on our website

Sales price of the car sold with blue plate: 3.000.000.- TL

Sales price of the car taxed in Turkey: 18.000.000.- TL

Bank Guarantee Letter Amount (deposit) for the car: 4.000.000.- TL (or in exchange for foreign currency or mortgage letter)

Net amount remaining in your account: 15.000.000 / 11.000.000 TL

And, it should be noted that the deposit amount is refunded when the vehicle registration is closed!

It is not possible to purchase a car without giving a guarantee. Only Diplomatic missions in Turkey can benefit from the right to use tax-free cars.
