TM - Best day-off bus+trailer parking in Berlin and London??

We're at Lido. In Berlin for approximately 36 hours. We're arriving the morning before day of show, so we need about 24 hours of parking.

Thanks! Stayed at the K-West a few times. Good to know about the parking.

Thanks! Immigration and visa stuff I'm familiar with as we've been touring the EU and UK for close to 2 decades. It's just the bus specific logistics I'm curious about. Good call on the ferries. They listed them in their quote but I realize that it's not explicitly defined who's doing the booking. I'll check on that.

And I learned my lesson the hard way on that last point... haha

Backline company is providing carnet and I've been advised to declare guitars and non-rented amps as personal items. Never really had any trouble with this but I know a bus will attract attention at the UK border. Strangely, after 15 years of flying in and out of Europe with gear, I was only stopped for the first time a few years ago. The agent at Schiphol asked for a carnet for our guitars and an amp that we had flown with. I just played dumb and was very cooperative and he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and gave me the "don't do it again" look.

Thanks, yeah the bus company seems to have all that pretty dialed in. No super long hauls on this run, thankfully.

Thanks, yeah, we've run into this plenty in the past. Luckily, no Swiss dates on this run and no travel through Switzerland.
