Ship Car To Athens

Car Shipping Athens

The capital of Greece and one of the most important cities in Europe, Athens is a major hub of tourism, business, trade and art. Since 1981, Greece has remained a part of European Union. The country enjoys a unique culture and high living standards. Additionally, as an established economic center of Europe, employment benefits ensure that expatriates from world over call it home.

Although Athens has a wide network of public transport, commuting is easy, but having your own personal vehicle ensures faster commuting in the larger metropolitan area. If you are planning to move to Athens and need your own vehicle, shipping a car from USA will not be an issue as the port of Piraeus is the biggest passenger ports of Europe. With close proximity, transporting your vehicle is easy. However, it is important that all paperwork is in order before the shipping process starts. It is best to hire the services of international shipping services like us. At A-1 Auto Transport service we are experienced in shipping vehicles all over the world and ensure that customs are cleared and vehicle handed over to the owners.
