Your automobile can be transported to Greece in one of the following methods:
- 20 ft. Steel Container: - Exclusive Use: This method of shipping
is usually more costly than RO/RO service but offers greater security.
Using this method, the automobile is loaded and secured inside a steel
container, loaded onto a container vessel and shipped to your destination.
- 40 ft. Steel Container with Household Goods: The automobile
is handled as above; however, a 40 ft. container is utilized. Household
goods are packed and loaded into the container first. A wooden bulkhead
is built to secure the household goods in place and finally, the automobile
is loaded and secured before the departure.
- RO/RO (Roll on-Roll off): In most cases this is the least expensive
method of shipping automobiles but is not available to all destinations.
Using this method, your automobile is transported to a RO-RO vessel
(similar to a car ferry) and transported from port of departure to destination
port.
Charges will be based on the size of the vehicle and which of the above
options you choose.
Preparation for Overseas Auto Shipping
-
When preparing your automobile, for shipping some companies may say
you can pack things in your trunk, but if there is a robbery, your items
would not be covered by any insurance you take.
- Vehicle washing: In order to expedite the origin inspection, present
the vehicle to your auto transporter in clean condition. This allows
for a quick and fair evaluation of the vehicle prior to shipment.
- Fuel level: The fuel level of the vehicle transported should be about
¼ of a tank. This is because auto transports are weight sensitive.
- Antennas: Antennas should be lowered or removed. Temporary antennas
such as cell phones or CB radios should be removed.
- Keys: The U.S. Department of Transportation requires that all keys
be provided from the vehicle. This includes ignition, truck, glove box,
and/or other keys.
- Alarms: Alarms should be turned off. If there are special instructions
required to start a car or to disarm an alarm, let your auto transporter
know.
- Luggage racks: Non-permanent luggage, bike, or ski racks should be
removed.
Considerations
Before you decide to ship your vehicle to Greece, you must consider the
following:
- Does your destination country allow the importation of automobiles?
Yes, under the two following options:
| A. By keeping your car with already register
plates. To find more about moving your car to Greece under American
plates please click here. |
| B. Under the Certificate of Repatriation that
is issued from Greek Embassies or Greek Consulates. To find more
about the Certificate of Repatriation please click here. |
- Estimated Customs duties and taxes:
| A. If you import your car with your plates
there is not any extra charge for duties or taxes. |
| B. If you import your car with the Certificate
of Repatriation the amount which you have to pay is very small
and depends on various reasons. |
- Cost of insurance: The cost of insurance in Greece is lower than
the cost in U.S.
