5 guides on getting around, with linked sources and recorded review dates. Requirements can change; confirm with the source or responsible office. Part of the full KMC guides library.
-
Deutschland-Ticket: plan a trip and avoid an extra month
Check whether your journey uses local transport before buying this monthly subscription. Know what it covers, when to cancel, and what needs a separate ticket.
-
US to German license: check which process applies
A German civilian license and a U.S. Forces license are different routes. Start with your status and future plans, then ask the responsible licensing office what applies.
-
Winter tires in Germany: check the marking and conditions
Ask a tire shop to check your car before winter travel. The tire marking matters, and the legal requirement follows road conditions rather than a universal seasonal date.
-
Shipping or buying a car for your move to Germany
Compare the full cost and practical fit before choosing a car. Confirm shipping eligibility, registration and any tax or customs conditions with the offices handling your move.
-
Driving after arrival: arrange your U.S. Forces license
Confirm the license you need before collecting a car. An online answer about tourists or civilian residents may not cover a PCS assignment.
