Search your local area for an overseas shipping service. If you cannot find one in your local area, expand your search to a broader area. You may have to drive your car quite a distance to reach the shipping company.
Compare the different shipping companies to find the one that offers the most security and the best shipping price. Call the shipping company once you choose the one you want to gather information. They may require you to have overseas shipping insurance on your vehicle, so ask them how much coverage your vehicle requires.
Contact your current insurance provider to determine if they have overseas shipping insurance available. If they do not provide a shipping insurance option, search for a third-party insurance provider that will cover your vehicle. The insurance must meet the specifications of the shipping company.
Contact the shipping company once you have the correct insurance on your vehicle. Schedule a pickup day where they will come collect your car or deliver the car to the shipping company.
Clean all the possessions out of your vehicle before you hand it over to the shipping company. A full car is difficult to ship, so the shipping company may refuse to work with it until you clean it. You also run the risk of having items stolen or go missing if you leave them in the vehicle during the shipping process.
Wash the exterior and the interior of the vehicle before you take it to the shipping company. A dirty vehicle presents a threat when you ship it because the grime might carry certain bacteria that could infect the environment in the new country. Sometimes the threat of spreading bacteria can prevent the shipping company from accepting your vehicle for shipment.
Provide the shipping company with the title of your vehicle, the proof of insurance, a set of car keys and the registration. If you currently have a lien on your vehicle, you must provide a letter to the shipping company stating that the company is aware of your intentions to ship it and they condone the process.
