Shipping car with IntlMOVE
IntlMOVE can help you ship your car internationally if it is part of a larger household goods shipment from Florida or other major port city in the United States.
Your car will be loaded in the shipping container along with the rest of your household goods.
IntlMOVE believes it is a safer solution than a roll on/roll off service for shipping vehicles.
For safety, the car will need to be de-fueled and the battery needs to be disconnected.
The car will be blocked, braced and strapped inside the container.
If you are unable to deliver the car to the warehouse, IntlMOVE can arrange for the delivery of the car.
The documentation required can vary, but in general you will need the original title, copy of the registration, a signed and notarized power of attorney and copies of the driver’s license, passport and visa of the person who holds the title of the car.
The car must be free and clear of any liens.
Customs regulations state that loading household goods of any kind inside the car is strictly prohibited, so only factory installed equipment is allowed inside of the car while shipping it overseas.
Once your container arrives at the destination port, you will have the responsibility of picking it up.
Tips for Moving your Car Overseas:
Before you move internationally, make sure to research driving requirements and parking availability at your new destination.
The first thing you should do is get an international driving permit (IDP).
Many countries do not recognize U.S. driver’s licenses, but an IDP is valid in over 150 countries and it serves as proof that you possess a valid driver’s license issued by your country of residence.
The IDP allows motorists to drive in international traffic without taking any tests or applying for a new license in each new country.
Even if you are not shipping your car overseas, you might need to rent a car at some point, so it is a good idea to get a permit regardless of whether or not you will have a car in your possession.
The permit also serves as another form of identification, which will help alleviate the need to always carry a passport in your new country.
If you are making a permanent move, you will need to contact the embassy or consulate of the country to learn the requirements of obtaining a driver’s license in your new country of residence.
Make sure to also learn the new rules, laws, road signs and penalties for traffic violations in your new location because they might differ greatly from the United States.
In some countries driving is done on the left side of the road, which can be difficult to get used to for some people who are used to drive on the right side…
The minimum and maximum driving age can vary for each country, so check to make sure you and your family members fall within the legal driving age range.
You may want to invest in a global position system (GPS) because it can be very difficult to navigate new routes when relocating overseas.
At the very least, purchase an updated map and plan your car trips accordingly until you become familiar with the new area.
Finally, after you have mastered the driving rules and regulations in your new country of residence, make sure to fasten your seat belts for safety.
