Default Car overseas US->EU ... - 12-08-2004 , 10:48 AM






I'm planning to ship my car from Denver, CO, US to Europe. Does anyone have
experience on dependable and low cost transportation company that I could
trust without being ripped off?

Additional question: If I get a quote from a company, who is a member of BBB
(Better Business Bureau) and BBB reports they have not processed any
complaints against the company, how much does that tell me? Can you draw
conclusions based on BBB membership?

I'd check that a US spec car meets European requirements for safety /
roadworthiness tests ( possibly subtle differences ). Also customs duties, VAT
and stuff may be payable for a permanent import. If you're planning on being a
long term resident you may need to register the vehicle in the country you move
to ( new number plate and documents etc ) .

Containering seems to be the way to go. Local companies are probably most
useful in practice. Where are you moving ?

I think you should talk to a specialist. Advice should be free at least.

No probs there - as it is a Saab.

Yes, no problems. All that sort of issues have been sorted out, as well as
legal, customs, taxation etc. related things. All I miss is
transportation...

Are you a member of a drivers' association (AAA &c) which might
be able to advise you? Or is there such an organisation in the
country where the car is going?

I can very well imagine it would not at all be worth while for a BMW.
