The cost to ship a car overseas varies based on the size of the car, operating condition and destination. Cars located closer to shipping terminals cost less.
Typical costs: |
- Shipping a car from the US to Europe starts around $750 for a compact and runs up to around $2,000 for a full-sized SUV.
- Transporting a standard-sized car from the US to Australia costs about $2,950. If household items are to be shipped in a container along with the vehicle the price runs around $3,200 for a 20-foot container that can handle a car plus a few small items or around $4,600 for a 40-foot container that holds 47,500 pounds.

What should be included: |
- Auto movers transport cars by ship from several locations including San Francisco and Los Angeles in California; Jacksonville or Miami in Florida; New York City, New York; Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston, South Carolina; Wilmington, Delaware and Baltimore, Maryland.
- Car owners not living near a terminal generally contract with the overseas shipper or a local auto mover to transport the car to an overseas shipping location. Depending on the distance from home to a shipping dock, the price can start at $100 for a few miles and climb up to $900 from a Midwest state.
- Vehicles are either driven onto the ship or into auto containers which measure 7x7x19-feet long. Large or oversized vehicles will cost $150-$250 more to ship from a state to a terminal along with an additional surcharge aboard ship.
- Paperwork needed to ship a vehicle includes two copies of a notarized title, a Shipper Export Declaration[1] form and a Declaration of Dangerous Goods form. Both may be downloaded for free. Notaries charge about $10 per signature.
Additional costs: |
- Autos must meet the safety standards[2] of the destination country, according to Watzmann.net. Also, be aware that repair and replacement parts for a US manufactured vehicle may be pricey or difficult to come by.
- Shipping insurance for the vehicle runs 1.5 %-2.5% of the estimated value, or about $300-$500 for a car valued at $20,000. Some individual auto policies cover transport.
- Ask the shipper about port of entry taxes in Europe that may cost about 150 euros or around $200 USD.
- Non-operational vehicles will be charged extra for loading and unloading difficulties.
Discounts: |
- Some auto movers offer a discount if more than one car is shipped.
Shopping for shipping a car overseas: |
- International Movers.com[3] has an online locator for overseas auto shippers.

There are people posting on here, who put what they WANT to pay or putting their info on here like it's up for bid and they want people to give them prices, or asking for shipping companies, either they are not too bright or unable to read English well, thus wasting everyone's time reading their post, not realizing this forum is to put what you PAID to ship your car (and keep THIS post up so people who are going to do the same thing, reading this understand what to post in this forum-sigh-the name of this forum should be enough. |
