International Car Shipping FAQ's
By US and International Law, your vehicle should have
no more than a quarter tank of gas (1/4 tank).
Tracking the location of your vehicle is as easy as a
phone call. We take pride in keeping track of every item we load and
ship. We can tell you exactly where the vehicle is at any time - using
our state of the art tracking systems.
We do the work for you to get the final approval on
your cargo. We issue the required export forms. All you have to
supply is the commercial invoices and sign export instructions.
How do you
deal with foreign customs?
Many foreign governments request duties for your
international vehicle shipment and may have laws that will impact your vehicle
relocation. You should be prepared to provide any receipts for any new
merchandise in your shipment. To help you with the nuances of dealing
with a foreign government, we will be glad to assign you a foreign agent to
assist you.
While we do our best to inform you of all the potential
charges, destination charges and importation through the destination port are
ultimately the responsibility of the party receiving the vehicle.
Yes, By Maritime Law, steamship companies are limited
to a liability of no more than $500.00 per vehicle.
It is strongly recommended that you purchase a marine
insurance policy that covers your vehicle and shipping charges. There are
two types of policies: "Full Coverage" and "Total Loss." Full Coverage
covers the cost of the car, dents, scratches and shipping costs. Total
Loss, while less expensive, only replaces the value of the vehicle.
Please ask about marine insurance when booking your order.
We provide several different insurance coverage options
to meet your needs.

Domestic Auto Relocation FAQ's
A vehicle inspection report will be conducted when your
vehicle is picked up. Your vehicle should be clean to allow for a
complete inspection prior to shipping.
It depends on several factors including the weather,
road conditions, and other factors. Once the vehicle is picked up, the
average transit time is 7 to 14 days.
The sooner the better. Two weeks ahead of time is
recommended. However, we can provide services for customers that need to
move last minute. Please contact us for
more information.
Due to narrow roads, power lines, city ordinances, and
other factors, the truck may not be able to deliver or pick up your vehicle at
the scheduled location. In these cases, we will arrange a convenient
location to pick up or drop off your vehicle such as a shopping center or a
major road.
