Why Ship My Car Overseas?
Are you coming off of active military duty and want your car home with you? Are you selling a very rare or high-end car to an overseas collector? Whatever your reason, deciding if it is worthwhile to have your car shipped depends on several favors. There are many points to carefully think about, weigh and consider.
It is critical to know what you need to do and what is involved before deciding whether or not to ship your car overseas.
Trying to ship your car overseas by yourself is hard and can lead to disaster.
Do you know a trustworthy overseas shipper?
Hiring a trustworthy company to make sure your car gets through the myriad of country-specific rules and regulations is critical.
Make sure whomever you choose is experienced and has lots of favorable user reviews. Do your homework! Careful research will ensure you choose the right company that gets your car to its destination safe and sound.
How long can you wait?
Overseas car shipping can take weeks or longer – ships may be traveling to several different points and getting an exact pickup and drop off time is not always an exact science.
If your dates are not set in stone and you don’t mind being a bit flexible – you will find it easier to ship your car overseas.
Which shipment method words best for you?
Does RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Exclusive Container, or Consolidated Car Transport (include hyperlink to this section) method work best for you? Each option has its own pros and cons around the cost of shipping, car security, the estimated arrival date, and the ability to pack extras into your car.
Carefully weigh your options, keeping in mind what is most important to you when making your decision. Only you can answer how much you can spend, how flexible your arrival date is, and how important it is to you to bring along extra items.
