Importing a Renault

Do you want to import a Renault to the Netherlands? Whether it’s a modern Renault Arkana, Megane or ZOE, or one of the truly special models—such as the Renault 5, the classic Renault 4, the mid-engined Clio V6, the Renault 5 Turbo, Alpine variants or other unique sport and collector editions—SCL Rotterdam guides you through the entire import process, from purchase to registration on Dutch plates.

Renault has produced an impressive line of iconic cars over the years. Classics such as the Renault 5 (TL, GTL, GT Turbo), the Renault 4 and the rare Renault 5 Turbo remain extremely popular among collectors. Youngtimers such as the Clio Williams, Clio RS, Clio V6 and the Megane RS are often easier to find abroad—and usually at better prices than in the Netherlands. Thanks to our global experience, we help you import these special models safely and correctly into the Netherlands.

What do you need to import a Renault?

The import process starts with choosing the right model and the right country of origin. Popular countries for Renault imports include:

  • France – the natural home of classic Renaults and sporty variants.

  • Germany – large selection, well-maintained cars and many high-spec versions.

  • Switzerland – cars often in excellent condition with low mileage.

  • Japan – surprisingly many well-preserved Clio RS and Megane RS models.

After that follow the necessary steps: transport, possible technical adjustments, RDW inspection and registration with Dutch plates.

You can find a full overview of the import process on our car import page.
