And how would that come up anyway?

Should you find yourself in the fortunate position private a car to own than this is not news, what is taken as a bomb. Everyone knew this already. However, never before has this been officially substantiated. The bollebozen at LeasePlan give us research results of their own fleet, where the differences with eleven other European countries are shockingly clear. Complain to your boss that life is so expensive, you can now fully support!

We look at the big picture of owning and operating costs of owning an automobile. Purchase price, depreciation, repair costs, maintenance, tax and fuel. Everything you can think of. For convenience, this average is based on a car in the C segment (20,000 km/yr for three years).

An average of you per month grand total € 660 per month to spend on a petrol car. Dieselen costs an average of € 805. We fly to the Czech republic, we see the cost is about € 260 to decrease. Our dear eastern neighbours are also fried. Monthly charges amounted to € 418 (petrol) and € 454 (diesel).

That the Netherlands really over each country rises as we look to the 2nd and 3rd most expensive countries; the United Kingdom (€ 600 (b)/€ 630 (d)) and Sweden (€ 582 (b)/€ 576 (d)). Fuel costs are however the highest in Italy (something with high VAT and economic crisis). The UK has the cheapest maintenance costs, Sweden has the highest. In Germany you can find the cheapest tax and registration fees.

That the Netherlands is so expensive is partly explained by the bizarre high BPM and interest rates for taking out a loan. So think again before you have all your savings in a droommodelletje stop and move else going to Germany.
