FAQ's
Eligibility
Am I eligible for a HM Forces Discounts with County Garage?
If you are a serving member of H. M. Forces overseas, or MOD support staff within British Forces Germany then both you, your spouse and dependants are eligible for a military discount on your Ford from County Garage. Assuming you have not already used your tax free entitlements, you can also purchase the vehicle free from VAT. A recent payslip may be required for proof of entitlement, but you can remove the financial figures if preferred.
New car ordering and delivery
Can I order a tax free vehicle prior to a posting overseas?
Yes, assuming you are posted overseas with a tax free entitlement you can use a vehicle within the UK for a short time but you must export it within 60 days from date of registration. We will supply the vehicle with a VX302 pink log book which will specify the date the vehicle must be removed by.
Where would I collect my new Ford from?
When you purchase a Ford from County Garage, you are dealing directly with a franchised Ford dealership. Our premises are in Herne Bay, on the north east coast of Kent. We are the closest tax free specialist to Dover ferry terminal / channel tunnel. Upon collecting your vehicle, you will be dealing with your dedicated sales advisor that has looked after you from the beginning. We will be expecting you and will take as much time as you need to explain and technologies and features. If you prefer, we can arrange for your vehicle to be delivered to anywhere in the UK at no additional cost.
Can you deliver the vehicle to me overseas?
Yes, we have arranged many transporter deliveries overseas. We also offer free pick-up service from London airports / Kent seaports and the channel tunnel. However if you have a part exchange you intend to sell in the UK, you or your spouse will need to return to the UK to re-register the vehicle yourselves.
