Ship Car To Mecca

Car Shipping Mecca

Importing a motor vehicle to Mecca is slightly different than importing to other cities in Saudi Arabia. While Mecca is one of the largest cities not only in terms of population and land area, it is also a very commercially productive city. One essential thing you need to know about Mecca before having a motor vehicle imported is that you are only allowed in the town if you are Muslim. Non-Muslim people may not enter this holy city at all. If you are staying in Mecca, you will find that having your own personal motor vehicle will be very necessary as there is no public transit at all in Mecca except for taxi cabs. Taxis in Mecca can be expensive if you must use them daily. You will only be able to import your car if it is within five years of the manufacture date, has never been wrecked or used in a crime, and you will need a Certificate of Conformity issued by the Ministry of External Affairs to Saudi Arabia before the motor vehicle is even shipped from the United States. You must have all of the overseas shipping handled by a professional auto transport company.

Cost & Time Examples For Moving Your Vehicle

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save on ground transport costs by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for one car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

Paperwork

You’ll have a lot of paperwork to get together for the transport company and customs in Saudi Arabia. For the transport company in the United States, you will need essential documents like your license, social security card, motor vehicle title, and a signed Power of Attorney statement. The statement will give the company access to transport your motor vehicle. They will also need you to complete other mandatory shipping paperwork before the motor vehicle can be shipped. You will want to contact the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Washington, DC, for complete information on what you will need for customs when the motor vehicle reaches Mecca. You will also need to get a residence permit before relocating the motor vehicle. Customs will require you to have some of the following paperwork as well:

• Sponsor Letter of Employment for your Work Visa.
• Motor Vehicle Title.
• Original Bill of Sale.
• Passport .
• Motor Vehicle Insurance is valid in Mecca.
• Saudi Driver’s License.

You must ensure you have all the necessary paperwork for clearance when you are with customs. If you do not have the correct documents, customs can export your motor vehicle immediately to the United States.

Shifting to Mecca

In the United States, it’s easy to ship a motor vehicle from one state to another by simply driving it or loading it onto a transport truck. Shipping overseas is far more complex than that but will be taken care of just as quickly when you have the services of an international auto transport company.

Your transport agent will determine how to transport your motor vehicle as you make plans for hauling. You can contact U.S. Customs for information on export laws for the United States and to check on rules that may have been recently changed concerning shipping your motor vehicle to Mecca.
