International Auto Shipping Quotes

If you're looking for international auto shipping quotes - or quotes to ship from the U.S. to a foreign country, or vice-versa - there are a few things you should probably know about shipping internationally. For starters, you can only ship from the U.S. to another country via a U.S. shipping company; no company based in the U.S. will provide auto transport services from another country into the United States.

This means that if you're shipping from, say, Japan to Dallas, TX, you're going to need to contact a Japanese international auto shipper in order to make arrangements. Once the vehicle arrives in the U.S. - typically it'll arrive at a port in California - you'll need to ship it from the port to Dallas. This works for shipping overseas from anywhere into the U.S. Many shippers will use Baltimore or New York if you're shipping from Western Europe, and Miami or New Orleans if you're shipping from South America.

The FAQ's: Overseas Shipping

Wen it comes to overseas shipping of vehicles, there are a few different things that that statement could mean - are you shipping to Alaska or Hawaii? From the U.S. to another country, or the other way around? Different shipping locations can alter your price, availability of shippers, pickup and delivery times and more, so it's important to understand the distinctions.

We can provide quotes for you to ship your vehicle from the U.S. to Alaska, Hawaii, or any international port. We can't provide shipping quotes to landlocked countries (i.e. a country that has no borders on the ocean, and as such no ports for overseas shippers to ship to) - we could ship to a port in a country with a port, but you would need to arrange shipping with a company located overseas. It works the same if you're shipping into the U.S. from another country; for instance, if you were shipping from Great Britain to the U.S., you would need to contact a British shipping company to arrange overseas transportation.

You can read more about overseas auto transport right on our homepage. Just scroll down to the "Automobile Shipping Learning Center" to find out more.
