Hi there,
Imported 3 cars fm the usa to Europe a couple of years ago. Price ofcourse depends if you ship fm east coast or west coast. First time I shipped fm LA using the shipper
https://shipdei.com/ - straight forward guys.
Second time car was shipped fm Miami port and I appointed local forwarder in Rotterdam to handle all matters (he used his agent at Miami port)
Best is to load car into a consolidated container --- then you split the cost over multiple cars which makes it cheaper. I paid around 1.000 euro to ship to Rotterdam (be careful, this was a few years ago).
Where can you save money :
* if possible bring the car to the shipper yourself (no land transport)
* put a lower value on the car (saves you on freight insurance and import duties).
* although I am located in Belgium (Antwerp !!) I used Rotterdam - saved me a few bucks on import duties.
My cost was :
* freight (loading/unloading container + seafreight)
* 3% insurance
* 6 % import duties over car + freight + insurance
* NO Vat (+30 year cars are exempted).
* 160 euro to bring car fm Rdam port to my door
Where will you be living in Europe ?
Remark : if you ship your car to Rotterdam or Antwerp I can collect and store it at my place so you can further transport your car to end destination whenever it's convenient for you (rent a trailer for example)
If other assistance needed on this side of the pond, just reach out - (fyi : I work in the port of Antwerp as shipagent
so know my way around)
greetings fm Antwerp

NOTE : Uk is out of European community so additional import procedure fm Uk to mainland !!
