Help with shipping a car from CA to Germany

I am selling a car to a guy in germany and looking for info where to start and who do i call to get price quotes?

I have never shipped a car out of the country, so iam putting this thread on here to see if any other HAMBERS has or has had problems shipping out of the country....

Any help would be appreciated........
Thanks

 

Usually the buyer arrange shipping.

I bought a 1949 Caddy, in CA back in 2004, and I arranged the whole thing. All the seller had to do was to be home when the truck came to pick up the car.

I ***ume you have already talked about money transfer and such?


Oh, and thank you for dealing with it instead of running away scam-scared LOL ;-)

 

Hey 34 - you are in luck. I ship cars all the time as I am a buyer for several shops in Europe.
You can get cheaper quotes out of LA but I learned from bad experiences in Los Angeles to take all my business to a shipping place in Oakland. Yes I really have cars that I buy in SoCal shipped up north because my employers appreciate their cars arriving undamaged and without stolen parts or crazy-*** up-charges. Aladdin Freight has the best service in the business!

Ask for Kristine - she is the owner and after 50 some cars a friend of mine.

For some additional insight on experience, call Jay at American Pastimes Hot Rod shop (916) 944-6602, he just shipped his truck overseas about six months ago.

 

Hey,

Would it be OK for me to drop your name as well... ?

Thanks for all of the help............... Thanks Again!

 

I sent a motor to Germany. it went to Oliver Zinn's Moparshop. He arranged everything from there. It was for the lemans nacsar project. All I had to do was drain & it load it. BAX Global i think it was. Also BIGBLOCk MOPAR Herman I am sure knows how to do this and he is a Hamber. Herm ,were are you?

I've gotten a few quotes to do this but never sold one. Megan, ChevyGirlRox, has shipped a few cars overseas as well but it certainly sounds like these guys know what they are doing!

 

Off the west coast I usually work with Martin ****on at Cosdel:

Good luck, feel free to PM me if I can be of more ***istance.

 

I build motors for the European hot rod market. I ship about twice a month to Berlin by way of Bremerhaven. My broker picks up the loads there and hauls it to Berlin. I have shipped at least 15 cars and trucks also. I deal with Able Cargo 310-549-0600 Marin is my agent & she is German and can talk directly with your customer. Very nice people and they are in L.A. area (Carson) any questions just PM me

I am liking the sound of this... The Caddy is located in San Jose, so when it's time to bring it home, Oakland is a better option for me than Long Beach any day of the week...

 

I would like to thank all of the HAMBERS for the help, thanks again!
