We will be able to explain the procedure for importing a vehicle to Hanover, Germany. You will also need to choose the right shipping method for your needs. Your agent will help you determine how much you will need to pay for importing based on the weight and the size of your vehicle. Shipping methods are going to affect the price you will pay for shipping. You have two choices; Roll On/Roll-Off method and container shipping.
