When it comes to international car shipping, unfortunately, many people choose international companies with blind folds on.  Like children playing with a piñata, when all the candy falls out, they grab the first piece of candy that falls to the ground. 

When googling for a car transporter, don’t chose the first company that pops up in your Google search engine …just because a car shipping company has high rankings in the search engines doesn’t mean that it offers quality service.   

A great way to rate an International car shipping company’s service is by reading the company reviews online.  Another great way to find out if a company is up to par is by asking the international shipping company for references from previous customers. 

There are a few things to know when shipping your vehicle internationally.  In the US, most companies will request a deposit prior to shipping via credit card, bank check or cash and the remainder upon deliver.  With international shipping, things work slightly different when it comes to payments.  

The majority of international car shipping companies require payment in full prior to shipping. So, it is important that you know the exact amount it will cost you to ship your car overseas.  Although many international car shipping companies have competitive rates, it is usually at a much higher rate.  

Tip: To get the best rate for international shipping, contact at least 3 to 4 international car shipping companies.

If you’re shipping your car internationally, there are a couple of important things that you will want to know. First, you will have to drive your vehicle to the proper port location. Secondly, you will be fully responsible for arranging for your own transportation from the port location after you’ve dropped off your car. The majority of car shipping companies DO NOT provide transportation.

Next, someone will have to be available for pickup once your car is delivered to your specified destination. If no one is available for pick up at delivery, your car will be placed into storage. To avoid this from happening, make sure that you make arrangements ahead of time because if your car is placed into storage, you could be charged additional fees.
