How We Ship Cars To Monterey

AIRPLANE

Need your car there fast? Air freight generally delivers in just 4–7 days from major airports in the US/EU to California, making it the fastest shipping option—though pricier than container shipping. Because of its speed, air freight is often chosen for high-value classics or time-sensitive arrivals at Monterey Car Week. Exact timing may vary based on customs clearance and final scheduling.

SHIPPING CONTAINER

We can load multiple cars into a single container for cost-effective consolidation, with transit times typically 35–45 days from ports in the EU/UK to California. Although it takes longer, container shipping offers a more economical alternative to air freight. Once your car arrives stateside, we provide enclosed delivery from our California warehouse to any Monterey Car Week event—ensuring it arrives safely and on time.

“Excellent communication and genuine interest in our vehicles well being throughout the whole process. Highly recommend them for all your vehicle shipping needs!”
