Are you thinking about moving abroad and bringing your car with you? There are various services out there that can get your vehicle where you need it to be, but doubts and concerns can emerge in the process… Is shipping your car going to be more hassle than it\u2019s worth? Are the extra costs really necessary? It can be overwhelming and difficult to find the right answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Autoshippers, we know firsthand that most of these myths simply aren\u2019t true, and we\u2019re here to put your mind at ease, making sure you have the correct information to decide. Shipping your car with Autoshippers<\/a> is easy and cost-efficient, and we\u2019ll show you how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you worried about\ngetting your car to our transport terminal? Maybe it\u2019s too far to travel, or\nyou\u2019re already abroad. Fortunately, this doesn\u2019t have to be an issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At Autoshippers, we offer full door to door car shipping services from anywhere in the UK. This will save you time and energy during your move. We pick up, handle and ship your car with great care and dedication, aiming to be punctual and on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Onward delivery from the destination port to your car’s final destination is also offered as part of all services, however, you always have the option to pick up or deliver the car yourself. It’s completely up to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be frustrating to\nencounter extra costs that you hadn\u2019t planned for while you ship your car, but\nit\u2019s important not to make assumptions about steep prices. There are different\nvariants to the pricing of car shipping overseas,\nand it may not be as expensive as you think. It all depends on your vehicle\nitself and the tax rates of the country you\u2019re going to. For example, the port\nchanges for the US range from \u00a3106 to \u00a3406, whereas if you were moving to South\nAfrica, you may import one car free of duty and VAT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Autoshippers, we\nhave complete cost transparency, meaning you\u2019ll pay exactly what we quote you.\nYou\u2019ll get a breakdown of all port taxes and know what you\u2019re spending money on\nbefore making your decision \u2014 no hidden fees involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shipping your car to\nAustralia from the UK is a pretty long distance to travel, but that doesn\u2019t\nmean it\u2019s going to rack up exorbitant prices. \nMileage isn\u2019t actually the only cost involved in shipping a car. The trip\ncan be made cheaper based on what container you decide to transport it in, and\nthere are different costs associated with the type of car you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shipping your car a\nlonger distance can be more cost-effective in the long run. For example, a\nstandard used saloon car in Australia may cost you $10,000 – $20,000. However,\nif you already own this car in the UK and decide to ship it, it could cost you\nas little as \u00a31,500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As much as it sounds\ngreat to accompany your car during your journey to ensure it\u2019s being kept safe,\nthis isn\u2019t an option due to safety, security, and border regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plus side is that you don\u2019t need to be physically with your car to make sure it is being handled right. Autoshippers guarantee your vehicle is in safe hands with a service you can trust. Your vehicle will be cared for every step of the way. If you\u2019re still concerned and require extra protections for your car, you may want to select a private container option<\/a>. With this option, your car is loaded into a 20 or 40-foot container, expertly secured to the floor, and fitted with wooden blocks and straps to prevent any movement during transportation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve selected a roll-on roll-off<\/a> (roro) transport method, you unfortunately won\u2019t be able to use your car as a suitcase. It may seem cheaper to place some of your belongings in your vehicle rather than paying for separate shipping, but cars need to arrive clean and empty for maximum security during the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you select\nthe private container option, it is possible to put some additional luggage and\nbelongings into the car \u2014 but this must be within a reasonable and safe limit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be a hassle\nsending anything overseas; we get it! Perhaps you\u2019ve personally sent smaller\nitems abroad that were never received or have experienced the headache of lost\nluggage at an airport. It\u2019s understandable to have your doubts about\ncommunication, and it can be hard to track items during transit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Luckily, Autoshippers strives to give you excellent communication and service at all times, making sure we can answer your questions and queries every step of the way… <\/p>\n\n\n\n A nightmare scenario \u2014\nyou\u2019re stuck in a foreign place, waiting for your car to arrive, and you\u2019re not\nsure how to get around without it. It should have arrived by now, and you have\nno clue when it will come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully, this scenario is extremely rare and often only exists in nightmares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Autoshippers provide an accurate estimate of how long it will take for us to ship your car, and we try to be as accurate as possible with our estimations. In the rare case of any delays, you\u2019ll be the first to know. There are even times where cars have arrived earlier than anticipated. We make it our priority to get your vehicle to you when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving to a different\ncountry is enough, so why should you go through the hassle of transporting your\ncar too? It may seem overwhelming with the cost and the effort of organising it\nall, but it\u2019s really not as bad as you think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Autoshippers are happy to\nexplain the whole process and break down the costs for you. You don\u2019t even have\nto lift a finger to get your car across to another country because the door to\ndoor service gives you everything you need.
