Car Shipping Pula
Pula is currently the largest city in the Istria County of Croatia. It has its location at the southern part of the peninsula. It’s famous for its unspoiled nature and its smooth sea. The area has a long and fruitful winemaking reputation as well as in tourism and shipbuilding.
If you’re planning to move your car there, you’d need to know that the price can be determining. The cars are not as expensive in the USA and this might be the better option. However, there are a few regulations, laws and requirements to comply prior with importing your car. The A-1 Auto Transport is an experienced agency which is capable of ensuring a smooth transit.
Croatia has a lot of ports as it’s located on the Adriatic Sea. They include Dubrovnik, Ploče, Zadar, Bakar and Split. You can also go for a land-based transportation through another country but it’s not worth it. There are weekly ships, departing from the USA and the transportation time is therefore rather short and very reasonable.

- Bill of lading and of sale.
- Authorization from lien owner if needed.
If you are transporting a European car, you’d also need:

Homologation.
The homologation certificate is issued when the relevant inspections are through and they verify that your car complies with the regulations of the EU. Facilities offering this service can be found in Germany, Spain and within the USA so you have to take care of it in advance.
Shipping Methods.
You can choose between:
