International car shipping rates change depending on the number of vehicles moving to that specific region of the world, distance shipped and competition among the auto shipping companies. Many overseas auto shippers propose really reasonable international car shipping rates because of the volume of cargo they handle for a particular route. For example, car shipping rates from USA to Germany are very low because a lot of vehicles are shipped every day between these 2 countries.
 
International car shipping rates also depend on the size of your automobile, motorcycle, SUV, van, limo or any other type of vehicle. A regular sedan auto will post a lower rate than say an SUV or a van. For example, car shipping costs from the East Coast USA to major ports in Europe can start from $650.00 + insurance for a “Port to Port” rate for a small sized automobile.

Please, make sure to book your car with the overseas shipping company prior to arriving at the port to allow for any required paperwork to be completed. Original vehicle title is required to be cleared with a Customs office prior to export.
 
International car shipping insurance coverage goes into effect once the vehicle is delivered to the ocean port or an export loading warehouse. 2 types of coverage are available: All Risk and Total Loss.
 
International car shipping companies will oftentimes align their car shipping rates depending on competition, currency exchange rates, fuel prices or an assortment of these components. The number of vehicles being shipped to or from any individual country will likewise contribute to international car shipping rates.
