Ship Car To Prizren

Car Shipping Prizren

Located in Southern Kosovo, Prizren is a city and municipality close to the Sar Mountains and shares its boundary with Macedonia and Albania. You might have different reasons to need your personal vehicle in Prizren but it will need a lot of documentation and adherence to Kosovo regulations. At A1 Auto Transport service, we understand the nuances of shipping to Kosovo and can be of assistance.

Kosovo is a landlocked country and that is why the vehicle will need to be shipped to Albanian port and then driven across to Kosovo. However, it is important to take into account before the vehicle reaches the Kosovo border, you need to have a third-party insurance for your vehicle apart from being there personally to get the car cleared at the customs department. The average waiting time for the Kosovo Customs is about five days.

Motor Vehicle Regulations in Kosovo

Kosovo travel and driving regulations differ as compared to US. There are vehicle regulations implemented by the government that all foreign drivers need to follow. These include:

• Carry driving license and passport
• Vehicle insurance documents
• Registration deed
• Vehicle has to be disinfected when it crosses borders to come into Kosovo

You will need your US driving license to drive in Prizren and it is only valid for 12 months or less. Thus, if you intend staying for a longer duration, you will need to get the local Kosovo driving license. Additionally, it is mandatory to use headlights and seat belts.

Shipping methods

Although your vehicle cannot be shipped to Prizren directly as Kosovo is a landlocked country, you will need to select the freight shipping method. The most common and cost effective method is RORO as the car is driven on the freight ship at US port and driven off at the port of destination. If you are only transporting your car to Prizren, then this is the quickest way. However, if you have more goods to transport along with the car, then choose 20 feet or 40 feet enclosed container. The car is secured and the goods put in the same container for safe transit.
