Transport Options: Container Transport or Ro-Ro Transport

When transporting your damaged car, you have two options: container transport or Roll on-Roll off (Ro-Ro transport).

  • Container Transport: This is usually the most affordable option and the best choice for damaged cars. Your car is placed in a container, which provides excellent protection during transport.
  • Roll on-Roll off (Ro-Ro) Transport: The car is driven directly onto the specially designated ship deck and carefully secured. This is a quick and efficient way of transport, but not always suitable for damaged cars.

For arranging a transport insurance, you can also turn to SCL Rotterdam.

Fast Customs Clearance and BPM Declaration

When importing a damaged car, many factors come into play. Fortunately, we take care of everything for you:

  • BPM Declaration: We handle the BPM declaration and calculate the lowest possible BPM in advance.
  • RDW Inspection: We ensure that the car is inspected by the RDW.
  • Dutch License Plate: We register the car with a Dutch license plate or a German KFZ (KFZ Brief), depending on your preferences.
  • Road Transport: If desired, we can even arrange road transport and deliver the imported car to your door.

What to Consider When Importing a Damaged Car?

Before importing your damaged car, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Certificate of Title: Does the car come with an (original) Certificate of Title? Without a Title, registering the car can be very complicated.
  • Salvage Title or Destruction Title: If the car has a Salvage Title or Destruction Title, be cautious. There may be additional costs associated with Dutch license plate registration. Want to know more about this? Contact one of our experts.

Additional Services

In addition to the services mentioned above, we also offer additional services such as:

  • Pre-purchase Inspection: Our experts can thoroughly inspect the car before purchase, so you don't end up buying a lemon.
  • Payment Service: We can also handle the financial transaction for you.
