Car Shipping Gjakova
A municipality in west Kosovo, Gjakova is a populated city. It is located about 60 miles away from the Adriatic Sea. The city is located on the southern side of the Dinaric Alps.
After the political instability and strife in the last decade, Kosovo is developing fast and offers a range of employment and education opportunities.
However, irrespective of the reason for your move, it is important to be able to travel independently and importing your own vehicle from USA isn’t as complex as you thought. There is plenty of documentation, identification to show and taxes to pay before you can drive your own vehicle in Kosovo. That is why you need to hire the expert services of A1 Auto Transport service as they have shipped plenty of vehicles to Kosovo and will be able to help you with the procedures. One of the essential aspects of importing the vehicle and driving in Gjakova is having a US license, if you are a U.S citizen.
