Other factors that can influence the total cost of transport are shipping options and what you will be shipping with your vehicle if anything.

Preparing a Vehicle for Overseas Shipping

Once all the documents are ready, you will need to add to those documents a documented form that lists all damages that you can see on your vehicle prior to the vehicle leaving the port. Your documentation will provide proof that your vehicle is ready to drive and doesn’t have any issues. You will need to remove all personal items from your vehicle if you will not be choosing the container shipping method. Your personal items can stay in your vehicle, if you decide on container shipping.

Calculate the Cost of Shipping

Fees that will be factored in to the cost of your shipment includes foreign customs duty, any offloading fees, type of vehicle, time of year that you are importing it and more. A-1 Auto Transport service will be able to give you the accurate estimate.

Available Shipping Options

You will be able to select a method of shipping that best suits your needs. If you choose to ship your vehicle in a container, you will first need to choose the size of the container. Currently the choices include a 20 foot and a 40 foot container. Once you choose the container, you will then be able to place all your personal and household items inside the container and inside the vehicle before it is sealed and loaded onto the deck of the ship. If you want to go with a more affordable option, Roll-On/Roll-Off is the way to go. Your vehicle will only be charged for the space it takes up on the deck of the ship inside its own bay. Your vehicle will need to be in drivable condition, be completely cleaned out and have only a quarter tank of gas, the floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire inside.
