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 |

Don't use a "RORO" (Roll-on, Roll-off) shipping method, even though it is cheaper. Things will magically disappear from your car, such as the spare tire, jack, tools, and even the license plates. A friend of mine shipped his Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider to Europe from the East Coast so he could follow the Mille Miglia in his Alfa during his extended vacation. When the car arrived in Holland, things had been stolen from inside the car and its trunk, and they even stole the California license plates off the car.

Have to agree here- my car sat on the dock for months and suffered greatly. Its getting repainted now..... Absolutely do not use CFR Rifkins. Their negligence was unbelievable. They let the car sit on the dock in Tocoma though the winter and lied about the issue. The car suffered extensive salt damage and their insurance, PAC Global, totally stiffed me despite extensive evidence to back up my claim. If I ever ship internationally again- which I probably won't, I will only use a container service. At the time it was the lockdown and there were no containers available. |
