Car Shipping Malaga
Malaga is the capital of the area district and is located in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, in Spain. It is also the second most popular city. It lies on the Costa del Sol approximately 62.14 miles east of the Strait of Gibraltar.
If you intend to move to this culturally rich and panoramic city, it will be of advantage if you ship your vehicle with you from the USA.
When moving, things can get very stressful, not only physically but mentally as well. To make the transition more smooth, you will need to hire a professional in the auto transport business who knows how to get the vehicles moved from the United States to Malaga. The agent will know exactly what you need and how to get your vehicle there with ease. They can also advise you on some of the rules and regulations required when hauling a vehicle. For example, the Spanish Customs Department requires that owners of vehicles must be the owner for at least six months before shifting it to the area.

Preparing Your Vehicle For Departure From The United States
You never know exactly how much you will pay for transport until you finish the process. The factors that can affect your cost are the relocating method, the weight of the vehicle, and other factors. You can contact U.S. Customs to learn more about exporting from the U.S. The roll-on/roll-off hauling method is the most often chosen way to move your vehicle. This method is used around the world for repositioning vehicles outside of the U.S. If you plan to stay in the area for good, you may want to use the container shifting method instead. You will be able to stuff your household goods and everything else in the same container as your ride. Another way to move is air shipping. This method is normally used to save time on imports. It's the best way to dispatch vehicles that have value such as classic cars too.
