Cost of the UVV test for the vehicle inspection

The vehicle check

The costs of a UVV test for passenger cars for the vehicles in the fleet range from €15 to €110. There is no uniform nationwide price list for UVV tests. The costs depend on several factors. To which category do the vehicles belong? Do your own employees carry out the test or do you commission an external specialist workshop?

If the inspection of the vehicles takes place within the framework of the main inspection (HU), it can be cheaper. The UVV inspection costs are then between 30 and 50 €. For very large fleets, it can be worthwhile to train an employee as an inspector for the UVV inspection of passenger cars.

fleetster supports you in all UVV processes. Reminders for the UVV inspection of passenger cars are issued for all vehicles. All master data are immediately available to the workshop. The digitized documents of the inspection are clearly stored.

They can then scan in their driver's license themselves and have it checked via the system. On vacation, at home, or on the road while refueling.
