AT THE DESTINATION

Once your car arrives overseas, it must first be accepted by one of our agents at the destination port. The agent will arrange to truck the container from the port to their facility where the car is safely unloaded. Destination charges start at around $550 and vary depending on the destination and services provided. While we recommend certain overseas agents in Europe, you can use your own agent at the destination.

The agent can help clear import customs and any modifications required for the vehicle to be eligible for road use.  They can also provide guidance on temporary insurance and registration.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

We accept wire transfers, checks, and bank deposits only. Read more about banking fees when paying from overseas.

We do not accept credit card payments.

The Shipping Process From USA to Europe

Shipping vehicles or any other goods to Europe is nearly identical to shipping anywhere else. As long as the vehicle or commodity is allowed to be imported into the country, you are ok to ship it. The same applies to the US side, as long as you aren't shipping something illegal or something that is specifically not allowed to be exported, you should be fine. For example, exporting ex-military Humvees isn't allowed by the US government unless they give you an exception, which is rare.

Fortunately, the most popular auto exports to Europe can be shipped and imported without a problem.

What's Included In The Price

The instant quote includes loading your vehicle into a container and shipping it from either California, New York/New Jersey, or Florida to the European port of your choosing. It also includes US customs clearance and documentation handling.

What most first-time shippers do not realize is that the shipping cost usually does not include destination charges in Europe. Which can include unloading the container, local import duties, VAT, and registration. These are all handled by one of our agents overseas.

Do I Drop Off The Car Myself?

We offer the flexibility of dropping your vehicle off at one of our shipping facilities or having us pick up the vehicle from anywhere in the United States using our network of dependable auto transporters. We collect vehicles using open transporters, or in more secure enclosed transporters. You can get the rate on an open transporter instantly by simply filling out the vehicle pickup location in the calculator above. For enclosed transportation please contact us for a custom quote.
