Accuracy is key when trying to determine how best to ship your car internationally. However, the quote you receive is only as accurate as the information you provide. Here at Ship Overseas, we offer a simple process to get a quote, but you do need to give us certain detailed information. We’re not being invasive: we just want to make sure we have all the right info to give you an informed, accurate, affordable quote.
In general, there are two ways to get a quote to ship a car overseas. First, if you prefer to speak to someone, you could call us at 858-547-0840. However, if you’re pressed for time and prefer to go through the process on your computer, simply click the red Get a Free Quote button on our home page. From there, it takes you just a few minutes to complete the process.
Check out these tips to make sure you receive the most accurate quote possible.
Make sure you…
Enter the Correct Information
It’s too easy to make a mistake and provide the wrong information. Even if it’s off by a year, such as with the year or model of your car, this can impact the shipping quote you receive. Be sure to go over all information before clicking send.
We will need the following information about your vehicle and locations:
- Year
- Make
- Model
- Pickup Location
- Drop Off Location
NOTE: Even if you give us all the information we seek, we still can’t guarantee an exact final price until you actually book your shipment.
Ask Questions If You Have Them
Booking an overseas car shipment is a big deal. You don’t want to slip up or assume anything. That’s why, when you have some questions about the process and can’t find the information on our website, you should always call and speak to one of our representatives. Our skilled customer service reps will address any questions or concerns you may have. Maybe you live in a remote area or the car will be going to a remote area. This tends to raise the cost. Always ask before you book.
