Diplomatic car sales in the Netherlands: your specialist
As an official Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Ford and smart dealer, Wensink Automotive has been supporting the international community in the Netherlands for years. Our dedicated Diplomatic Sales team handles the specific requirements that come with diplomatic vehicle purchases, from tax exemption procedures to special registration plates such as CD, BN, and GN.

Whether you need a premium executive saloon, a spacious family SUV, or a fully electric vehicle, we have the right option available.
VAT and BPM exempt: we handle the process for you
Under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, accredited diplomats and privileged persons in the Netherlands are entitled to purchase vehicles exempt from VAT and BPM. Wensink guides you through the complete process, coordinates directly with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Team IFB), and ensures all required documentation is correctly completed before delivery.
Diplomatic sales across the Netherlands
While a large part of the international community is based in The Hague, home to the majority of foreign embassies, NATO, and UN-affiliated organizations, Wensink serves diplomats and international staff across the entire Netherlands. Our specialist covers Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Arnhem, and all other locations. Appointments are available online or on location, fully adapted to your schedule.
International organizations and expats
Diplomatic status is not a requirement to use our international mobility services. Wensink also assists employees of recognized international organizations, NATO and UN personnel, and eligible expats with finding the right vehicle and the most suitable purchase route, with the same level of personal attention and guidance.
