How to Ship a Car to England

Shipping a car overseas is often discouraged--whether during a move or another transaction--because of the trouble, money and time involved. However, people often become attached to their cars, or need to sell a classic car to someone in England. With some research, a good company and a few simple steps, your car will make it to its destination on time and intact.

Instructions

    • 1

      Get quotes from several international shipping companies. Research what each company offers, from storage environment to speed of delivery. Some companies take seven to 14 days, while others take up to a month.

    • 2

      Drive the vehicle to the specified shipping location, or, if you are willing to pay extra, arrange for the shipping company to pick it up. Be prepared to drive hundreds of miles to a port if you agree to bring the car to the shipping location.

    • 3

      Provide the shipping company with the title, registration, vehicle inspection report and a letter of consent from the recipient of the car.

    • 4

      Purchase shipping insurance--often required by companies--for your car, documenting all dents, scratches and internal damages before releasing it to the shipping company.

    • 5

      Clear the car of clutter and personal items before releasing it to shipping company, and keep a set of keys in case the primary set gets lost in transit.

    • 6

      Track your order online--a service offered by most international shipping companies--and wait for delivery confirmation.
