Ship Cars to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia
Author: carex shippingShipping cars to Europe from USA can be done by hiring an international car shipping company that specializes in overseas vehicle transport. But are all parts of Europe easily accessible for the vessel carriers servicing USA-Europe trade lane? If you’re shipping your car, pick-up truck, minivan or motorcycle to UK, Germany or Netherlands you’ll find that almost any international vehicle shipper can offer fast transit time and affordable rates via roll-on roll-off or consolidated container service.
In this post I’d like to talk about shipping cars from USA to the Adriatic Sea countries in South Europe: Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania.
First of all, there’s no roll-on roll-off service from USA to this area. Why? Well, it’s all about economy: supply and demand if you will. The volume of vehicles being shipped to major countries in Western Europe is very large and hence many ro/ro vessel operators service this route. There’s not much traffic of automobile shipping from United States to either Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia or Albania. It’s a steady traffic but not enough to fill a ro/ro ship even once a month.
So the only option for shipping autos, trucks, vans, motorcycles, etc from USA to Adriatic Sea countries is via ocean containers. Now, there are a lot of overseas shippers that can offer this service but the price will be based on shipping your car in a single 20′ container. It’s quite expensive and will be out of the budget for most of the buyers in those countries.
One proven way to save money on international car shipping from USA to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia or Albania is via consolidated or shared container service. This means the overseas shipper will collect 2-3 vehicles from different customers and pack them in the one 40′ container going to the same destination in Adriatic Sea. This means that customer only pays for one spot inside the container which results in substantial savings.
