  • Relocation is a time and money consuming
    process. Personal items to sort out, boxes to
    fill, car shipping companies to talk to, all
    these can overwhelm a person. To add up to the
    stress, your auto transport company calls to let
    you know the price for shipping your car
    overseas. Shipping a vehicle overseas can cost
    anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000. It is important
    to understand the process so that you can
    properly evaluate the shipping rates.

  • First, it must be noted that when discussing
    overseas auto transport we refer to Alaska,
    Hawaii and other U.S territories and not to
    international shipping to foreign countries. The
    rates for international auto transport are even
    higher, due of long distances, storage fees, long
    customs process, etc. We will not go into detail
    as the shipping process in these cases is
    different and multiple shipping companies are
    involved.

1. At least two carriers are used
  • Unlike standard auto transportation,
    overseas shipping involves at least two carriers
    the first carrier is the overland transporter
    which picks up the car and transports it to the
    nearest shipping port. From the port, the car
    will be shipped via a ship, which is the overseas
    transport part. The car will reach its
    destination port where it will be picked up by a
    second carrier, and delivered to a specified
    address. Therefore, there are two carriers
    involved and one ship involved in one auto
    transport, each with their own rates.

2. Handling costs
  • When there are two or three carriers
    involved, there will also be some handling costs
    included. The cars are collected from the owner's
    address, shipped to the port, embarked on the
    ship and then shipped to the owner's location by
    a second truck. All these steps require a lot of
    organization and time on everyone's part. They
    are also reflected in the overall price, so when
    evaluating a cost for the overseas auto
    transport, keep in mind the handling fees and add
    them each time a new carrier is added to the
    equation.

3. Storage costs
  • Finding carriers which perfectly synchronize
    with your needs is a dream for most people who
    want to ship their cars overseas. When the
    overland carrier reaches the port a day or two
    earlier than the scheduled ship departure, the
    vehicle will be parked in a storage lot. The same
    goes for the cars which are kept longer in the
    destination port before being picked up by the
    client or by the carrier to deliver to the
    specified address.

  • Yet, if you are not ready to pay a huge sum
    of money for your cars relocation, there are a
    few tricks you can try to use and save money
  • Drive the car to the port
  • Pick up the car from the destination port
  • Choose a carrier that arrives in port the same
    day the ship is loaded for departure
  • Schedule relocation in low season
  • Before you trust an auto shipping company it
    is advisable to check the reviews and reputation
    of the company. The best way is to look for their
    reviews online and hire the company that meets
    your needs. Only an experienced car shipping
    company will be able to transport your car safely
    and on time without the added hassle.
