We proudly ship cars, RVs, boats, and heavy machinery to Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. Serving most countries, we ensure your vehicle reaches its destination safely and efficiently.
List of the Most Popular Countries We Ship Cars To:
Cost To Ship Car Overseas:
While various factors influence pricing, considerations include:
- Trucking costs – We will retrieve your vehicle from your front door and transport it to the closest port. This is an optional expense that your quote will reflect. We also ship port-to-port, which incurs no trucking fees, even though trucking costs are only for door-to-port shipping.
- Vehicle size – The shipping costs for most sedans and standard SUVs are comparable. Big SUVs (such as Chevy Suburbans) typically come at a higher price point.
- Distance from the USA – Typically, shipping expenses to Europe are less expensive than those to the Middle East.
Our transparent starting cost to ship cars overseas is approximately $790 and above.
Vehicle Import Tax & Duty & Destination Handling Charge
Every country has specific import taxes and offloading fees. Unless you are in the US Military or moving back to your country of birth, import tax applies. We ensure you are informed about all associated charges, promoting a hassle-free experience.
Storage Fees:
Upon arrival at the destination port, you typically have 5-7 days to pick up your car. Designate a consignee to facilitate a smooth process, ensuring they have the necessary funds for import duty and offloading fees.
Marine Insurance:
While optional, marine insurance covers potential vehicle damage during transit. Costing 1.75% of the insured value, it offers peace of mind. Learn more about Marine Insurance here.
Military Car Shipping
As an authorized and proud car shipper for the US Military, we take pride in facilitating smooth PCS (Permanent Change of Station) relocations. Import/duty taxes are often waived for military personnel.
Whether you’re going through a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or returning to the USA, we’ve got you covered. Major military bases, including Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, UAE, Iraq, and Bahrain, trust Ship Overseas for their car shipping needs.
Typical Documents Required to Ship Car Overseas
International car shipping involves specific documentation, varying by country. We guide you through the process, ensuring you have the necessary paperwork, such as the Original Title, Bill of Lading, Bill of Sale, and ID.
International RoRo Vessels are specialized ships designed to transport a variety of vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, buses, construction vehicles, and boats. They feature advanced systems for efficient loading and unloading, allowing vehicles to be driven on and off easily. Once onboard, vehicles are securely fastened in designated spaces, resembling a large parking garage, ensuring stability and protection during transit.
RoRo shipping is ideal for transporting single vehicles that can drive onto the ship independently. It is cost-effective, reliable, and operates on fixed schedules similar to airlines, making it a preferred choice for individuals and businesses needing timely vehicle delivery.
Car manufacturers prefer International RoRo Shipping for its ability to protect vehicles from environmental factors like saltwater and wind during transit. By securely fastening vehicles to the deck, it ensures they arrive in pristine condition, making it a secure, efficient, and dependable global transportation solution.
