Shipping Car to Europe

International car shipping is not easy to Europe especially when you ship your car from a non European Union nation. Some moving companies provide short notice car shipping services at additional charges. You should place order for car shipping at least two weeks before the move to get as many choices as possible. Certain companies don’t move inoperable cars and you should be clear with this condition. Required modifications such as antifreeze must be done on your own to your car if required.

You have to select an international auto transport company after comparing at least three different quotes. Usually, shipping car to Europe costs anything from $650 to $2000, depending on the car and the source from which you initiate shipping. If you can’t drive the car yourself, you have to get necessary services to get your car delivered to your home by the moving company. Shipping insurance is often the most overlooked and most important factor when it comes to shipping cars. The basic liability of $500 for overseas shipment is not enough for your car. You should buy adequate insurance that will help you in times of needs when your car gets damaged, or ever worse, lost.

Export Cars from eBay

If you are planning to export cars from eBay or have plans to purchase a vehicle on eBay and ship it to a foreign country, don’t be too anxious about getting it done. While there are essential details that must be covered when shipping a valuable vehicle overseas, the process has been somewhat fine-tuned in recent years.

In fact, eBay offers a summary of information about shipping vehicles that are purchased from this online source. For example, it’s possible to export cars from eBay using roll on/roll off service (car is driven onto ship) or container service (which also allows some personal items to be packaged with the car in a dedicated container).

International Boat Shippers in the USA

One of the most important parts of moving a boat of any kind to another country is seeking the assistance of international boat shippers in the USA. Many people don’t allow enough time for the planning stages of shipping a yacht, RV or other large vehicle from the United States to a European country, for example. If they would learn as much as possible about the process of transporting a boat across the ocean then talk with two or three experienced freight/shipping companies, they might avoid some of the delays and stress that can occur.

Preparation is a key in moving a large item by ship and international boat shippers in the USA are available to help. Both the boat owner and the service company or agent have to pay attention to detail and make sure all the documentation is current and in order. You should allow a couple of months, if not more, for the planning and reservation process, even if you have the help of a reliable professional. If you consider making all the arrangements on your own, you may want to allow yourself even more time.

Cost to Ship a Boat to Europe

There are some estimates that will give an idea of the cost to ship a boat to Europe, with prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to as much as $1,000 per foot (based on the length of the yacht). But the best way to find the cost is to do a bit of comparison shopping with three or four shipping-service companies. Fill out a simple form that gives size and make of the boat, along with the boat’s present location and intended location. In a matter of minutes, or a few hours, you can have an exact price.

But there is much more to determining the cost to ship a boat to Europe than just what it will cost to have the boat on the roll on/roll off deck or in a container. The price from a U.S. dock, for example, to a European court is just part of the expense. Anyone planning to ship a boat to Europe should also consider land transportation from the original location, port and dock charges, insurance, and storage and land transportation on arrival in Europe.

USA Boat Shippers to Sweden

Carrying your recreational boat to Sweden when you are moving from USA will be a part of your moving plan. It is worth spending to move your boat because boats are expensive in Europe and you can’t simply trash a used boat just because you are relocating. Moving boats economically is possible with reputable USA boat shippers to Sweden. These people will take care of your boat from your home and make sure that your boat reaches you in good condition in Sweden. You can do temporary as well as permanent export of boats to Sweden depending on your preference.

Finding USA boat shippers to Sweden takes some time because not all companies are capable of shipping boats internationally. While many moving companies can provide car shipping and even motorcycle shipping, boat shipping has special demands. Boats either sailor or motor, are available in different shapes and sizes. Further, preparing the boat is a tedious task. Shrink wrapping boats when they are shipped internationally is recommended, but you have to do it properly if you don’t want the boat to be damaged during shipping process. You should make sure that the moving company you select for shipping your boat is very well aware of the requirements of international boat shipping.

Boat Transport to Italy

If you are planning boat transport to Italy for your yacht or other large water craft there are a few crucial details to get a handle on before you ever move the craft from its current location. The two key choices you should research immediately are container shipping or roll on/roll off placement. Many people choose roll on/roll off for cars and trucks that can be driven onto the ship and then to a secure spot below decks.

You may also be able to arrange boat transport to Italy in an ocean container. With either type the boat is protected from all elements – rain, sun, sea spray etc. Keep in mind that container shipping generally allows you to send other personal belongings in that container. With roll on/roll off shipping you are not allowed to pack the yacht with shippable personal items that aren’t directly associated with your use of the boat. Check with the ship company or your professional shipping service to find out what is allowed.
