Before you ship the Car.

Before you are able to ship the car to Cankaya, you will have to have a shipping contract with an automobile transport company and have the car scheduled for pick-up and delivery to the port. When you initially contact the auto transport company and provide the information on your car, they will let you know how shipping overseas works. Whether your car will need to be placed in an auto storage prior to shipping out, how pick-up and delivery works, what types of transport are available in your area, and what the total cost of shipping will be. If you will need the car picked up and delivered to your new location in Cankaya you can discuss that with the agent and they will be able to schedule it for you. You will have to be at the customs checkpoint in person per Turkish law, but the company can have it delivered once clearance has been obtained.

Once you have the car scheduled for shipment, there will be some things that you will have to do to prepare the car for transport. Most often, you will need to have the car cleaned, and cleared of any personal belongings. Steam cleaning is often suggested for the interior in order to deeply clean. A delivery inspection will be done when the car is picked up, and the cleaner the car is the better chance it will be to notice any superficial damages during the inspection.

The Types and Cost of Shipping Internationally.

There are a couple ways to have your car shipped from the United States to Cankaya, Turkey by sea. The total cost to ship a motor vehicle is based on several things including the distance overseas from the exit port in the U.S. to the entrance port in Turkey, the mode of transport you choose, the size and weight of the vehicle and the taxes (if any) that are due for shipping or import duties Also, if you will need pick-up and delivery, that will be included in the cost you will pay as well.

Transport Types.

• RORO (Roll On/Roll Off) Shipping

RORO shipping is by far the most common way to ship any motor vehicle internationally. Vehicles are loaded onto the cargo ship by driving them (or rolling) them onto the deck. Once they are loaded they will be secured in place for the trip and then when they reach the port in Turkey they will be driven (or rolled) off the ship.

• Container Vehicle Shipping

Similar to RORO with the fact that vehicles are driven inside large shipping containers and then loaded onto the cargo ship. Containers offer protection for motor vehicles and other items that you will not find with RORO however, as containers are sealed for secure transport. While it does cost more to ship in a container, it is very beneficial if you own a highly expensive motor vehicle or need to ship personal items when you ship the car.

As you are making your plans to ship the car internationally you will need to contact the U.S. Customs to submit export paperwork to them. This needs to be done in advance of the date of shipping and is recommended to do at least one week or more prior to the shipping date to ensure the paperwork is received and approved for shipment.
