TAKING YOUR OWN CAR TO EUROPE” MADE EASIER

A LARGE travel for next year of American motorists taking their own cars to and from Europe is now assured, we read in a Montreal dispatch to the New York Herald Tribune, by the new arrangements which have been made by the Montreal Motorists League in cooperation with the American Automobile Association, the Automobile Association of Great Britain, and certain automobile societies in Europe. Through the Montreal connection members of the American Automobile Association can now plan to take their cars comfortably the next time they go abroad. As we read:

Members can now reserve space for their cars on the steamers at the following charges: Cars weighing between 1,500 pounds and 2,500 pounds, $285 for the round trip, and for cars weighing between 2,500 pounds and 4,500 pounds, $340 for the round trip.

These rates also include the cost of loading and unloading, port charges, washing and polishing car, foreign registration, plates, driving license, international customs pass valid for British Isles, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Poland Roumania and Luxembourg. Practically all of these countries permit touring for a period of one year under these documents, associate membership in the Automobile Association of Great Britain, touring-book and badge.

A deposit of $100 is required, which will be refunded immediately upon return of the customs documents duly vised by the foreign customs.
