Needed to get a car moved from So Cal to Poland. Contacted Ship Overseas as well as many others and Gary came back with the most competitive price as well as accommodating us by allowing us to put personal items in the vehicle. We emailed back and forth asking questions and Gary answered them all. Overall a fairly painless and pleasant experience moving a car and belongings. Definitely recommend Gary at Ship Overseas if you need a car moved.

We recommend Shipoverseas for their top-notch international shipping services. They transported our Mazda 6 from California to Galveston, Texas, and onward to Derince, Turkey. The entire process was smooth, with the car arriving in perfect condition within few months. Jack, Gary, and Miron our contacts at the company, provided prompt communication and timely updates throughout. Their accessibility in addressing any concerns were valuable. With this positive experience, we plan to be regular customers!

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%.

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 !!!

  • It must be self-propelled and legally permitted for use on public highways.
  • If the vehicle is leased, the leasing company must obtain written consent for transport.
  • The vehicle must have four or more wheels, except for mopeds and motorcycles.

  • 20% Import Tax and 9% VAT (Value Added Tax) if the car has been owned for less than one year.
  • Salvage titles are accepted, and there are no restrictions on vehicle age.

Please get in touch with us for the latest information on shipping classic cars to Turkey.

Storage Fees

Occasionally, vehicles may not be picked up on the scheduled date, resulting in storage fees imposed by the port authorities in Turkey. For current storage fee rates, please get in touch with us.

Shipping Car to Turkey from the USA for Military & Government Contractors

Military personnel and government contractors have specific procedures to follow when shipping their vehicles overseas. Authorization from the lender is required if there’s a lien on the vehicle and other documentation to pass customs.

Documents Required for Shipping Car to Turkey from USA:

To facilitate the shipping process, the following documents are required:

  • Original Title
  • Valid Identification

Additional documentation is necessary for military personnel, including a letter of permission from the lienholder and military orders or government authority letters. EU and non-EU citizens must also provide specific documentation outlined in our guidelines.

Documents Required for Shipping Car from USA to Turkey

Shipping a car to Turkey from the USA involves adhering to strict import regulations, necessitating proper documentation. Ship Overseas, Inc. simplifies this process by guiding the paperwork required for shipping. This includes ensuring you have the original title and valid identification handy.

Vehicle Registration in Turkey

There are many procedures involved in registering a car in Turkey in order to guarantee that it complies with regional laws and safety requirements:

International Driver’s License

Obtain an International Driver’s License from the appropriate authorities, such as the AAA Automobile Association in your region. While your American Driver’s License is valid in Turkey, having an international permit can benefit certain situations.

Certificate of Title

Ensure you have the vehicle’s original Certificate of Title of Ownership, free of any liens. The seller can endorse the existing Certificate of Title to transfer ownership if the vehicle is used or pre-owned. The seller is not required to pay sales tax, and upon inquiry, export documentation can be shown. For paperwork purposes, you could want a Notarized Bill of Sale or a Bill of Sale, depending on the departing port. When purchasing a new vehicle, an original Certificate of Origin from the dealership is required for customs clearance.

Vehicle Registration for Military & Government Contractors

For military personnel and government contractors, vehicle registration procedures are typically handled at the military base. It’s advisable to consult with the Officer in Charge at your base for guidance on vehicle registration and obtaining military tags.

Vehicle Registration for EU Citizens

Once your vehicle has cleared customs in Turkey, you’ll need to proceed with the registration process, which generally involves the following steps:

  1. Visit the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or relevant authority.
  2. Bring the original license plates, your proof of residency, the Bill of Sale, and your paperwork on your Turkey Customs Clearance.
  3. Follow the instructions provided by the local authorities for completing the vehicle registration process.

Please note that Ship Overseas Inc. does not offer guidance beyond this point regarding vehicle registration for EU citizens. It’s essential to adhere to the requirements set forth by the local authorities to ensure proper vehicle registration in Turkey.

Vehicle Preparation and Shipping Methods

Ship Overseas, Inc. guides you in preparing your vehicle for shipping to Turkey. We offer a choice of RoRo or container shipping to suit your preferences and budget.

RoRo Shipping Method

Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo) shipping is a well-known and economical way to move cars. Cars are driven aboard the ship at the port of departure and off at the port of destination when using RoRo shipping. This method is ideal for vehicles that are in good working condition and do not require additional protection.

RoRo shipping is an efficient and simple transportation method for vehicles. It offers a quicker turnaround time and reduces handling, making it a cost-effective option compared to container shipping. Ship Overseas, Inc. ensures the safe and secure transportation of vehicles through RoRo shipping, handling logistics from pick-up to delivery. Trust us to transport your vehicles safely and efficiently to their destination in Turkey.

Payment Methods and Cancellation Policy

When it comes to making payments for your Car Shipping to Turkey from USA, we provide easy and adaptable choices to meet your requirements:

  • Payment Upon Departure

You won’t need to make any payments until your car is at the departure shipping port, providing peace of mind and ensuring a hassle-free process.

  • Wire Transfer or Cashier’s Check

A wire transfer or cashier’s check is a common and secure payment method for customers outside the USA. Once your order has been placed, we will provide you with our bank information to facilitate the transaction smoothly.

  • Credit Card & Zelle

Alternatively, you can pay via credit card or Zelle for added convenience. Zelle offers a bank-to-bank transfer option with no service fees, making it a cost-effective choice. However, please note that if you opt to pay with your credit card, a 3% service fee will apply.

If circumstances require you to cancel your order, email us, & our team will assist you. Please be aware that a $300 cancellation fee applies. Refunds for canceled orders are typically processed using the same payment method chosen initially. Rest assured, we strive to make the cancellation process as smooth and straightforward as possible for our customers.

Additional Information

When Shipping Car from USA to Turkey, there are several important factors and considerations to keep in mind:

  • A destination handling charge of approximately $300 applies to the shipping process. This fee covers handling expenses associated with the arrival and offloading of your vehicle at the destination port.
  • If the final destination of your vehicle is an EU member country, you will be subject to a 20% import tax and a 9% VAT (Value Added Tax) if the car has been owned for less than one year. When planning your shipment, you must factor these additional costs into your budget.
  • If your vehicle is in transit through an EU country, you may be required to leave a deposit of 30% of the car’s value. This deposit is refunded after the vehicle is successfully registered in the final destination country.
  • Ensure that your vehicle has a clear title of ownership with no liens recorded on the title. This documentation is necessary for smooth customs clearance and shipment processing.
  • For safety reasons, the vehicle cannot have more than a quarter gas tank during shipment. Additionally, having a full gasoline tank adds unnecessary weight to the vehicle, increasing the risk during transportation. It’s recommended to leave as little fuel in the tank as possible.
  • If you bought a new vehicle, the title must include your name as the registered owner. When selling a car, both the seller and the buyer must sign the title in the areas provided on the paperwork.

USA Customs Clearance

Ship Overseas, Inc. will handle the customs clearance process for you in the USA. When shipping via RoRo (Roll On Roll Off) ship, US Customs agents will conduct a basic inspection, typically looking through the car’s windows and occasionally checking the trunk. Ensure the trunk contains only essential items, such as the spare tire and jack.

Preparing Your Car for Shipment

To prepare your vehicle for shipment, follow these essential steps:

  • Disable the alarm system to prevent any potential issues during transportation.
  • Do not fill the fuel tank before loading, as a full tank adds unnecessary weight and risk.
  • Check for leaks in the undercarriage and repair any detected issues before transportation.
  • Ensure proper tire pressure to minimize the risk of damage during loading and unloading.
  • Remove any custom accessories that may break off during transit due to size or placement.
  • Lock the car securely before loading onto the transport truck, ensuring it remains sealed until delivery.
