International Vehicle Shipping – FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about overseas car shipping:

Q: Why do I need to wash my car?
A: Washing the car prior to inspection ensures any scratches and dents are clearly visible.

A: Car alarms can go off during shipping and run out your car’s battery—making it difficult to drive the car out of the container.

A: YES – but ONLY if you select the Exclusive Container option for shipping.

Q: Do I need to pay extra at destination?
A: There are often port fees and offloading charges at your destination. Be sure to ask your shipper for the full cost of this, as the total depends on several variables including the size of the vehicle.
