Ship Car To Rotterdam

Car Shipping Rotterdam

Rotterdam is one of the largest shopping centers in all of the Netherlands making it one of the perfect locations to have a car shipped to. Whether you have located to the area for work, school, or just to be able to live in a beautiful city, you’ll realize that having your ride to drive is not only convenient, but it can quite well be a necessity for reliable transportation when you need to get somewhere quickly. As with delivery or traveling anywhere internationally, there are rules and regulations for moving a car overseas, and you will need to supply specific documents to the auto transport company and customs officials when the vehicle reaches the area. For the hauling company, you must provide your photo identification, insurance paperwork, social security number, and a signed Power of Attorney form. You will also need to give them a copy of your title or registration for your ride. Your shifting agent will detail fully what paperwork is necessary.

Cost & Time Examples For Shifting

*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 vehicle 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.

*The RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and loads can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Importing Regulations For The Area

You will need to know the importation rules for the Netherlands when having your vehicle shipped to the area.

Available Shifting Transit Methods

While it would be nice to simply be able to drive a vehicle over a bridge to any country of choice, it just is not possible. You must choose a method of dispatching your vehicle overseas to the area. These are the available moving transport methods for sending your vehicle to the location:

RoRo Shipping- Using this strategy, you can export your motor worldwide in the shortest amount of time possible by sea from the United States to Rotterdam. Your vehicle interior will be emptied of any personal goods, and any removable external components, such as ground lights or antennae, may also need to be removed before delivery.

Cargo Container- Moving your personal vehicle inside a delivery container is preferred by many who have relocated to the area to live permanently, as containers make it possible to have household goods sent simultaneously when the vehicle is dispatched. Your agent will review the container sizes available and help you choose the one that is right for your cargo needs.

Air Shipping- Many people with classic vehicles want to know that their pride and joy will be with them in the area quickly. Moving by air instead of by sea is the fastest way to move a vehicle internationally to Rotterdam.
