Shipping a Car From USA to Greece
If you’re in the market to ship a car to Greece from the USA, don’t fear: it’s not as complicated as you may assume. This is especially true when you have a trusted partner like Ship Overseas to back you up. We are here to help you navigate the process in the most seamless way possible. Here is a complete guide full of the critical and basic information you will need to know before placing an order.
For a free, no-obligation quote, we will need to start off with the Year/Make/Model of your car, Pickup Zip Code or Departure Port, and Destination Country, in this case, Greece. Ship Overseas offers weekly sailings from seven ports in the USA to one port in Greece.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car to Greece?
The basic cost to ship a car is $1435 from the East Coast and $1990 from California.
However, some things can alter the price you ultimately pay. For instance, you will pay more if:
- You live too far away from the nearest port and would rather our truck drivers take your car from your home to the port for you. Those who want to save cash and who live near the port will simply drive their own car.
- You’re shipping a large vehicle such as a truck or SUV vs. a smaller compact car.
- You’re shipping from Long Beach California instead of the East Coast like Baltimore MD.
How Long Does it Take?
It takes about five weeks for your car to get from the USA to Greece.

Documents Required to Ship a Car to Greece
You will need these documents to ship a car to Greece:
- Original Title
- ID
Do Returning Citizens Have to Pay Import Fees?
Are you an EU citizen? Have you lived outside the EU for 12 months? You can bring your car back without having to pay import fees.
We shipped our vehicle from Hawaii to Belgium. We contacted several companies online. Miron from Ship Overseas was the first to get back to us. This was our first time shipping a vehicle internationally and we had no idea what the entire process was going to be like. Some of the reviews we read said the company wasn't very responsive or communicative. We had quite the opposite experience. Miron communicated with us every step of the way. Communication was extremely important to us as this was quite a complicated process. Miron answered all our questions and provided all necessary details of the process. He was also very upfront with the fees and even advised us of what fees to expect here in Belgium. Our car made it to Belgium on schedule without any hassle. Miron's contact here in Belgium was also very thorough. I recommend Miron from Ship Overseas 100%.

Highly recommended. Paul, Miron, and team were very thorough/detail oriented. It was my first time having a car shipped from Europe which I purchased. He made sure I had all the paperwork needed. They also arranged transportation both to and from the ports.

I feel bad as I see a lot of people writing bad comments about this company. I've NEVER had a problem with them. NEVER.(Regarding the negative reviews..)Ship overseas is not an insurance provider, but rather a shipping company -- you must make sure to get insurance when shipping your vehicle so that no damages occur to it. They don't own the ship, nor workers, and of course as a result cannot guarantee the people on the ship won't damage your car.ShipOverseas is my go-to when I have to ship my cars. Which sounds funny to say, but I've actually shipped my car multiple times with them.Jack, one of the agents and owner is always very helpful, and does a great job of putting in trust in clients by making sure you understand the process in detail.I've transported my CLA45 AMG from the US to Belgium, without a problem, and have shipped it back, and am now buying a new car and shipping it back!You could say I'm somewhat of a (very happy) repeat customer – Photos for reference!

We highly recommend Shipoverseas services! Not only are they specialized in shipping gas/diesel motor operated cars but also specialize in shipping EV vehicles as well. We used there International shipping services to ship a 2022 Porsche Taycan to Dubai. The car arrived in less than a month in perfect shape, same as leaving our location. We worked with both Jack and Gary, both were great communicating and providing a timely status update. We will definitely be a regular customer! Thank you Jack and Gary!

Shipped my car from NC to Puerto Rico. They took care of the transport of my car from NC to the port in FL, and then on the ship from FL to PR. The staff was very responsive to all communications I sent, especially while my car was in transit. I always knew exactly where my vehicle was. Very kind and helpful staff, especially when I was just calling to inquire in the beginning. Will use them again if I ever need to ship my car back stateside.

I used Ship Overseas back in 2019 to ship my 2008 Harley Softtail from Galveston Texas to Belgium. I forget exactly how long it took, perhaps in the two month range. However, the bike did eventually arrive and was completely ready for me at pickup. They even handled all the import paperwork etc. My only complaint would be that somehow the bike had accumulated almost 100 extra miles on it from when I dropped in off, and picking it up. Perhaps they needed to run it around the boat a few 1000 times. Also, there were a couple of parts missing from my saddle bags. Lesson: NEVER leave anything that can't be bolted to the object you are shipping. Otherwise, great service and a very good shipping experience.

ShipOverseas was a great partner in shipping a Chevy Bolt EV to Helsinki Finland. The representatives provided easily understood descriptions of the roll on-roll off process, required paperwork, payments, etc. We drove the car onto the Galveston, TX dock with an accompanying guide. It was 100% smoothly accomplished. The car was transferred in Germany without problems (it is an electric vehicle with some unique starting characteristics) and offloaded near Helsinki, Finland. The photo shows incredibly clean conditions at the destination despite weeks at sea. I can highly recommend ShipOverseas for safe, economical, and successful vehicle shipping.

If you never had your car shipped before, I can tell you that it can be a very fearful, and stressful event, but I can vouch 1st hand that this agency took all the thought fear and stress away! We moved my XT-5 from DFW to overseas (Bahrain). We didn't have any issues, and it was relatively fast considering it's been shipped across the seas. I will 100% recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Hassle-free and delivers what was promised. I'll definitely be using them whenever we decide to return stateside!

I shipped two cars from Savannah to Germany. Super easy process and the rates were better than anyone elses that i was getting for the same route. Would recommend them to anyone for their shipping needs. They helped along the way to get the documents needed and explained the process clearly so i knew exactly what needed to be done to have my cars on the boat that I needed them to be on. Pickup on the other side was easy as well with who shipoverseas was partnered with where my vehicles arrived. They were in contact with me often so i knew that the vehicles were on time and when to have everything ready. I will certainly be in touch again when it's time to return from my oversea travels. Thanks for the smooth process!

This company and team were tremendously professional & also the least expensive company I found. I researched quite a few before settling on ShipOverseas. I’m glad I chose them, they were able to deliver my vehicle to my destination port in Korea when others said they could only deliver to one port in Korea and for less money. I will definitely use them again and recommend anyone shipping anyone to consult with ShipOverseas.com. Well done!

Hello Tere! Last summer I sent my car to Estonia. I was scared little bit because it was my first time ( maybe even last!) to do this kind of thing. But it went very smoothly - unexpectedly . Most difficult thing was driving myself to the port, but I did it! I could order somebody from Ship Overseas, but it cost money. And paperwork was pretty normal. The same day, I left to the airport, I got phone call that they sent car title to my old address. Wow! I thought that this title goes directly to the Estonian port, but I was wrong. They sent this very important paper over to my son.It arrived on time when I was ready to show car documents to the toll office. Everything ended very well ! Thanks to Ship Overseas. And , by the way, sending my car to Estonia was much, much cheaper than other companies offered. I am thankful !!!

I have worked with this company for many years. We started shipping cars overseas in 2004. They are the BEST! They take a serious interest in making sure your car gets where it needs to go and will walk you through all the steps to make it a smooth move! We have shipped many cars to the UK and Germany as well as several to Bahrain, I cannot imagine using anyone else. Jack, Paul, Miron and April all made my job a lot easier for over 18 years

Om my GOSH! Words can't express how grateful I am for the experience I had with Ship Overseas. Living and working overseas can be a challenge but when I called they knew exactly what to do.

Departure and Arrival Ports
The departure ports from the USA to Greece include:
- Newark, NJ
- Baltimore, MD
- Newport News, VA
- Charleston, SC
- Brunswick, GA
- Galveston, TX
- Long Beach, CA
There is only one port in Greece: the Port of Piraeus. This is the main seaport for Athens and it is situated on the Saronic Gulf on the coast of the Aegean Sea. Piraeus is the largest port in Greece and one of the biggest in the entirety of Europe.
Salvage Titles
Yes, Greece accepts salvage titles.
Vehicle Age Limit
There are no vehicle age limits.
Shipping Method for Shipping a Car to Greece
We only offer RoRo shipping from the U.S. to Greece, not container shipping. Our shipping vessels depart on a weekly basis from all seven U.S. seaports listed above to Port of Piraeus in Greece.
RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)
If you have a car that can make it up the ramp and onto the ship of its own power, RoRo is the right choice (and the only one, in this case) for you. It happens to be our most cost-effective and popular method of shipping cars from the USA to Greece. It’s also efficient and reliable, with set departure and arrival dates. All cars are tied to the deck with no exposure to the ocean water and air so you get the ultimate protection from the elements.
Use RoRo to transport wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, motorhomes, campers, trailers, buses, construction vehicles, and boats.
Customs Broker Information
Ship Overseas will assign a broker for you; it’s listed on the Doc Receipt.
Vehicle Import Tax
To find out the import tax for your vehicle when shipping to Greece, contact:
Scandinavian Near East Agency S.A. Dir. Line: +302104586312 Email: a.anastassiou@sneal.gr
Destination Handling Charge
The destination handling charge for shipping a car to Greece is $300.
Do You Need Marine Insurance?
You can get 1.75% of the value of the vehicle for FULL coverage of theft, vandalism, damage, and total loss with a $500 deductible. Coverage starts once your car has been loaded onto the ship and lasts until the time it is collected and signed for at the arrival port. Total Loss is a 1.25% charge for the value of the vehicle.
We highly recommend you get the insurance but it is not required.
And if you don’t want to pay for 100% coverage, you can always choose to buy partial coverage of 50% to 75% of the value. However, keep in mind you’ll be responsible for paying out of pocket for any damage exceeding the covered amount.
As you can tell from the above, shipping a car to Greece is not daunting at all! Let us help when you call us toll-free at 888-805-4994 or 858-547-0840.
