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.

City Spotlight: Auto Transport Detroit

Detroit. The Motor City. Known primarily for its strong ties to the automobile industry, the city itself has seen better days...but the future's bright despite the setbacks of its continual decline through the 70's and 80's. When it comes to shipping a car to or from the city of Detroit, you'll find that it'll probably be much easier than you thought.

Due to its large ties to the automobile industry, Detroit has many highly-traveled routes in and out of it, making it easy for auto transporters to move their vehicles in and out of the city. Built for the automobile, Detroit is one of the more friendly auto transport cities - at least during the summer months. During the winter, the weather can make auto transportation to or from the city a bit dicey, but on the whole prices tend to drop during the winter months as compared to the summer months.

Shipping a Car to Oregon

When it comes to shipping a car to Oregon, it's important to understand some of the nuances about physically transporting a vehicle there. For starters, it's probably going to be a bit more expensive shipping from the east, because there are fewer interstates for carriers to travel on and the only major east-west interstate, I-84, runs through a lot of rural area before terminating in Portland. 

I-5 runs from San Diego all the way up to the Canadian border, so if you're shipping from pretty much anywhere in western California you should see some cheaper prices when shipping to Oregon - at least if it's along Interstate 5. Shipping to the middle of the state can be a bit more expensive, but there's always something to do in Oregon and the price for auto transport, regardless of where you're going, is usually worth it.

Auto Shipping by State: Kansas

When you're looking to ship a car to Kansas, you should probably know a bit about the state, especially if you're moving there and have never been there before. It's probably best known for its huge swaths of farmland, dominated by a variety of different crops including corn, wheat, and, of course, livestock. The trouble with the state, really, is the lack of major interstates running through it. There are only a few east-west routes that auto shippers can travel along, and since Kansas is fairly rural a lot of car shippers don't like going there because there's a definitive lack of customers.

With loads scarce and auto shippers reluctant to travel through the state, prices per-mile are mildly higher than it is in other regions of the country. Weather can play a big factor, and many shippers may also be reluctant to travel through the state during tornado season or during the winter months. You should talk to your auto transport representative about when the best time to ship a vehicle to or from Kansas would be, if you have the time to spare, and you can read more about the state on our Kansas Auto Shipping page.
