Car Import from Vancouver

Shipping a car from Vancouver to the Netherlands can be quite complex, but at SCL Rotterdam, we always aim for the best option. Vancouver, located on the west coast of Canada, offers various possibilities for transporting your car to Europe. Below, we explain the available options and the pros and cons of each method.

Shipping by container overseas

One of the most commonly used methods is shipping cars by container overseas. This means your car is loaded into a container and transported through the Panama Canal to Europe. Although this route is long, it is often the cheapest option. The container is securely sealed, ensuring your car arrives undamaged in Rotterdam.

Advantages:

  • Cheapest option
  • Safe transport method

Disadvantages:

  • Long transport time

Shipping by Train to Montreal

Another option is to first transport the container by train to Montreal and then ship it from Montreal to Europe. This method is much faster than the direct route via the Panama Canal, but it can sometimes be more expensive and present more challenges at customs.

Advantages:

  • Faster transport time
  • More flexible scheduling

Disadvantages:

  • Higher costs
  • More customs challenges
