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. Check out our website for more information about international auto transport rates and what we can do to help you out in that regard.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to San Diego

With a population of over 1.3 million residents, the city of San Diego is the 9th largest city in the U.S. and the second-largest in the state of California. It's a popular auto transport destination due to its beautiful location on the southern California coast, and is a major transportation network in the region where it lies.

When it comes to shipping a car to the city, it's generally going to be quick and fairly cheap. San Diego is a popular auto transport location, like we mentioned, but it's not just popular for customers; many auto transport carriers will include San Diego in its cross-country routes, and oftentimes will run several different vehicles to the city at the same time. Prices can increase during the height of the summer season, as there is typically an influx of customers looking to ship to the city, but on the whole prices are relatively low on a per-mile basis for much of the year.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Long Beach

Long Beach is a very popular city located on the southern California coast. Not only is it popular as a resort and beach location, but also for its major port - it's one of the largest ports on the west coast and one of the largest auto transport companies that handles overseas transportation is located in the city. When it comes to auto shipping to Long Beach, it's easy enough to arrange; many carriers transport vehicles to Long Beach year-round, mainly because they're taking them to the port.

But it's not just for the port that people ship there. It's a rather large city in the state of California and, for your trivia fact of the day, it is the largest city in the U.S. that is not a county seat. It may not be much, but it's something, anyway. The city, aside from being a major port, is also considered to be a major industrial extension of nearby Los Angeles.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping Long Beach

Long Beach is a popular auto shipping destination for several reasons. For starters, it's close to Los Angeles and is a major tourist trap; second, it's a big city with lots to do, a growing population and burgeoning economy; third, it's a major port that sees ships transport vehicles to Hawaii all the time, so most shipments to Hawaii have to go through the city; and fourth, it's in California and doesn't see any snow at any time, really. So there's a lot of reasons why auto shippers like shipping to Long Beach.

And because they like to ship there, you're going to get some good deals. Not only is it going to be super easy for you to find a carrier (depending on the pickup city, of course - if you're shipping from the boonies or a snow-covered city, you may have a harder time), but it's almost always going to be at a pretty good price.

City Spotlight: Oakland Auto Shipping

Oakland, located just on the other side of the bay from San Francisco, is quite a popular auto transport destination, but maybe not as much as, say, New York City or Los Angeles - but it's pretty up there. But what makes Oakland so easy to ship to is the fact that it lies right along several major interstates, including a major north-south and east-west interstate.

Because of the ease of access to Oakland, many car shippers find it easy to ship in and out of the city, which means you stand to save some money (and some time) if you're shipping your vehicle to or from Oakland, California. You can fill out our free online auto shipping quote request form if you're looking for Oakland auto shipping services, and you'll receive multiple free quotes from our reputable and reliable car shippers. You can also read more about the city itself by visiting our official Oakland auto shipping page on our website.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Los Angeles

As the second largest city in the U.S. and the largest city in the state of California, Los Angeles is one of the most popular auto transport destinations in the United States and sees a lot of people shipping vehicles to, from and through the city every single day. It's considered an Alpha world city, meaning it is a major center of international finance and culture, and we really can't disagree with that.

It's the home of the Port of Los Angeles, one of the busiest ports on the west coast that handles international and overseas shipping of goods such as foodstuffs, manufacturing items, and vehicles. Since its founding in the 19th century it grew rapidly and today has over 3.8 million residents - a far cry from the 8.2 million in New York, but still a lot more than the third highest city, Chicago (which has just 2.7 million residents).
