Question about shipping to Europe, Anyone recommend an Auto Shipper to move a car from US to Europe Options

[frostyf]

Hi All,
I've had my car for sale for a period, but I'm scoping whether I can keep it and get it moved across to Europe.

Has anyone got any experience shipping a car from the East Coast to Europe (UK, Germany, Italy)?

I'm trying to work out if there's a favourable method and whether there are differences in the cost depending on where you ship it to?

Many thanks for any advice,
Nick

I have a same story as Dax. I also have 3 cars from US to Rotterdam (including my 914) . I also used SHipDei, with mixed experience I have to say, from really nice to stressfull situations. Different harbours in US, handled by ShipDei.
Local shippers in US that brought my cars to ShipDei warehouses.....horrorstory at one car, others fine. I used a local agent in the Europe harbour to deal with customs and import for me, that costed money but that really was the stressless part in all 3 occasions.
Will I do it again ? mmm... I think next time I would ask that local company in Europe to handle everything , which is a service from them. It is raher expensive but will save me some sleepness nights and stress .

I was lucky that seller of my 911 and 914 - Bob (see msg burton73) brought the cars to the shippers warehouse himself. No stress on that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
