Importing an Aston Martin
Have you been dreaming of importing an Aston Martin to the Netherlands? At SCL Rotterdam, we make it happen without the hassle. Whether you want to bring over a DB11 from Germany, a Vantage from the United Kingdom, a DBS Superleggera from the United States or a rare limited edition that simply cannot be found here, we handle the entire import process from A to Z. Our service covers all Aston Martin models, from the classic DB5 to the latest DBX and Valkyrie.
Why import an Aston Martin?
Aston Martin is officially sold in the Netherlands, but that does not mean the Dutch market offers the best selection. In Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, the same models are often priced considerably lower, better equipped, or available in specifications that were never sold here. Think of special editions, V12 variants or right-hand-drive models sought by true enthusiasts. Those willing to import get more car for their money, or simply get the car they actually want.
Why choose SCL Rotterdam as your Aston Martin importer?
Full service, everything under one roof
At SCL Rotterdam, we combine over 15 years of import experience with a passion for high-end sports and luxury cars. Our service covers not just the shipping, but also the complete customs clearance, storage and any technical modifications in our own workshop. One point of contact throughout, which makes the process significantly faster.
Years of experience and expert guidance
Our specialists know exactly what steps to take and how to avoid common pitfalls. From the first conversation to delivery at your door, you can count on expert advice at every stage. Read more about how we import vehicles.
Support with purchase and modifications
Have you not yet bought the Aston Martin? SCL Rotterdam offers professional purchase guidance. We can even travel to the location with you to inspect the car, so you make a well-informed decision. UK models have right-hand drive and British specifications. US models differ from European standards in several areas. Our workshop handles all necessary modifications expertly.
Cost of importing an Aston Martin
Costs depend on the model, the country of origin and the services you choose. Do you only need transport and customs clearance, or also the full technical inspection and registration? We recommend requesting a quote for an exact price. Thanks to our full service approach, you deal with just one party, which keeps both costs and communication straightforward.
Transport options for your Aston Martin
Container transport and Roll-on/Roll-off transport (Ro-Ro)
At SCL Rotterdam, we offer two transport options: container transport and Roll-on/Roll-off transport. For an Aston Martin, a car that is exceptional in both value and rarity, we strongly prefer container transport. The car is sealed and protected, away from weather and external damage. Ro-Ro is an efficient option for shorter routes, but for trans-Atlantic transport the container is the standard. In all cases, we recommend transport insurance, which we can arrange through our insurance partner.
Global ports and speed of delivery
We import vehicles from ports all over the world. Whether your Aston Martin is coming from Gaydon in England, a US auction house or a dealership in Germany, we arrange the transport to Rotterdam. Our experience with international routes ensures your car arrives quickly and safely.
Advantages of SCL Rotterdam
Own storage facilities and fast customs clearance
We have our own facilities for safe storage and keep the entire customs process in-house. That makes the procedure significantly faster. Our full service package also includes Dutch registration and tax declaration. We use a favourable calculation method to keep the tax liability as low as possible, which on an Aston Martin can make a considerable difference.
What to watch out for when importing an Aston Martin
Conversion tips
Since Brexit, Aston Martin is a non-EU brand, which means UK vehicles now require customs handling and documentation. US models require additional safety and emissions modifications to meet European standards. Our workshop carries out all necessary conversion to European standards, so your Aston Martin can be registered without any issues.
Purchase inspection
An Aston Martin is a significant investment. A thorough inspection beforehand is not a luxury but a necessity. Our specialists have experience with high-end sports cars and know exactly what to look for. Visit our purchase inspection page for more information.
Payment service
We also offer a payment service so you can handle the purchase of your Aston Martin safely and without complications. At this price level, that is not a small detail but a genuine assurance that the transaction goes smoothly.
