Before you start the shipping process you must receive a confirmed quote on export. A confirmed rate is valid for 30 days. If you need to calculate destination charges such as import duties for your countries proceed to step 2.
Request a Confirmed Rate:
When shipping a car from the United States you must also take into account the destination charges. They include import duties and taxes, unloading and delivery fees. Because destination charges are different for each vehicle and country, we work with local agents to calculate rates on each import.
Your account manager can help get a full breakdown on costs charged at the destination. Just reply to your confirmed quote and provide information on the vehicle to get a rate on import costs.
However, there are some states which did not issue titles for classic cars. These states are:
If your vehicle originates from any of the above states, and it was never issued a title you must provide a notarized bill of sale.
We utilize a nationwide network of auto transporters to pickup your vehicle and deliver it to our export facility in either California or New York. We estimate that vehicles are collected anywhere between 1 to 5 days, depending on the location. Keep in mind that domestic transport is affected by the seasons and the weather. You can get estimated transit times by using our car shipping calculator. Please note if there is no direct shipping route to your destination, your container may be delayed during the journey.

If your car doesn't run and drive, that's okay.If you've purchased a car from a salvage car auction, the shipping company will require the Lot, Buyer, and VIN number in order to collect the vehicle. Keep in mind that salvage car auctions will charge you extra for storage if the vehicle is not collected in a timely manner.
