Importing a car from Miami to the Netherlands: everything you need to know

Are you looking for an experienced importer to ship a car from Miami to the Netherlands? At SCL, we offer tailored solutions, so you can always find a suitable package to import the car of your dreams. In this article, you’ll learn everything about the process, costs, and options for car transport from Miami.

Advantages of importing a car from Miami

Importing a car from Miami has several advantages you shouldn’t miss:

  1. Favorable location: Miami is located on the east coast of America, which means that the transport time to the Netherlands is shorter compared to shipping from the west coast.
  2. Lower costs: Due to the shorter distance, shipping from Miami involves lower costs, making it a cost-efficient choice.
  3. Extensive experience with classic cars: At SCL, we have a lot of experience importing classic cars from America, which means your vintage car is in good hands.

Shipping from Miami: what are the costs?

The cost of importing a car from Miami depends on several factors:

  • Type of shipment: There are different options for car transport: container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) transport. With container shipping, your car is placed in a secure container, while Ro-Ro transport means the car is placed on a special car transport deck.
    • Container shipping: This often involves lower costs and offers various options such as Economic Class, Royal Class, and Special Class.
    • Ro-Ro transport: Although slightly more expensive, this method may offer a quicker and simpler process.
  • Port of import: Shipping from Miami takes place via the port of Charleston, a busy port with extensive experience in car imports from Florida.
  • Destination ports: Cars can arrive in Rotterdam or Antwerp for import.
