International Car Shipping By Air

International Car Shipping By Air

What is the International Car Shipping By Air?

Are you looking for quick methods of shipping your vehicle overseas? Well, international car shipping by air is one of the best ways to transport your car to the new city. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you decide to ship your car with a plane.

Budget the expenses. Now, it should be pointed out air shipping is a lot more expensive than the regular ground transport. That’s why you need to set aside a convenient amount of money to cover the expenses. If the vehicle is worth a few thousand dollars, it may not be a good idea as the transportation could cost you more.

Research well. There aren’t quite a lot of companies that are going to offer international car shipping by air service, so make sure that you get ahead of things and find out the best options. Check the ratings and their online profiles in order to ensure that everything is handled hassle-free. With this in mind, companies that specialize in air transportation should be your primary option.

It will ensure peace of mind, which is much needed when shipping your vehicle by airplane. Make sure to ask all the right questions when you arrange the transportation.

How To Import Your Vehicle With Aerial Freight

Though it isn’t as challenging as you thought, but when you work with A1 Auto Transport service, we will assist you at every step of international car shipping by air. However, it is important to be aware of the few conditions that you must meet:

  • The car needs to be in properly working condition.
  • The car needs to be entirely empty of personal belongings.
  • You can’t leave more than 1/8 of the tank of gas.
  • You need to provide a spare set of keys.
  • The car needs to be lien-free, and if it’s not, you need a notarized authorization from the lien holder.
  • Sometimes, the S. Customs will take more than three days to get through clearance, and if the vehicle is stored within this time, you will have to pay the fees. The transit will take between 1 and 10 days, depending on the destination.

Information That You Need To Get A Quote

Regardless of the mode of transport you choose, a documented estimate is essential. We will need further information from you to provide you with a precise estimate. The following are examples of required documentation:

  • The vehicle's title must be original.
  • The vehicle identification number and number plate.
  • Specifications and dimensions include year produced, model, and manufacturer.
  • It is important to consider how much it is worth in U.S. dollars and whether or not you want extra insurance.
  • Transportation method: from airport to airport, airport to door, door to door, etc.
  • The shipper's full legal name, US phone number, and US street and postal address.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
