What are the costs of exporting a car?
The cost of exporting a car depends on several factors, such as the destination, vehicle type, and chosen mode of transport. For a detailed quote, we can tailor the pricing to your specific situation. Costs can range from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on the complexity of the export.
How long does the export process take?
Export duration depends on the destination and transport method:
- Sea freight typically takes between 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the distance and the ports of departure and arrival.
- Air freight is significantly faster — in some cases, delivery can take place within 48 to 72 hours — though it’s usually more expensive than sea transport.
- Road transport is generally the fastest option for countries within Europe but may not be suitable for long-distance shipments.
The impact of exchange rates on the export process
The exchange rate between the euro and the currency of the destination country can affect the final export costs. Currency fluctuations (such as EUR/USD or EUR/JPY) may influence transport prices or import duties. At SCL Rotterdam, we monitor exchange rates and inform you in advance about potential cost implications.
