What are the best options? There are three ways that I know of right now. Each has its own pros and cons.
The first is called RoRo Car Shipping. It’s your cheapest option, and you have a pretty decent time frame. You can get your vehicle within roughly three to four weeks. The con is you can’t have anything in the vehicle.
The next method is what’s called a shared container. The pro to this is that it has a fair cost, and another bonus is you can actually put stuff in the trunk, up to 150 pounds. So if there’s something that you want to carry with you to Europe but you don’t want to carry on a flight, put it in the trunk of the car. The con to this method is it could take longer to get, roughly about four to eight weeks. The reason is that you have to wait for something else to ship with your vehicle in the shared container, which could delay the arrival.
The third option is what’s called a single container. The big advantage of this is that it has the fastest arrival time because your vehicle ships when you’ve got everything ready. Also, you can put other stuff in the container, and this is actually best if you are moving to Europe. The con to this is the price tag; you’re going to pay a pretty penny to have your stuff shipped exactly when you need it shipped.
Now, which option did we go with? Out of the three options, we actually did option one and number two. We did number two when we shipped from the US to Europe, and then we did the first option, the RoRo method, when we shipped from Europe back to the United States. So if you do decide to ship your car from the United States to Europe,
