Cost of importing a muscle car: a tailored quote

Because we offer various services for importing muscle cars, the costs vary. For a specific price quote, we recommend requesting a free, no-obligation quote. You can easily do this online by filling in a form once. Based on this, we'll provide a tailored price quote for shipping and importing your muscle car.

Transport options: Roll-on/Roll-off or container transport

There are two ways to ship your muscle car:

Container transport: The car is driven into a container. This is usually the most suitable method of transport because of the major safety benefits a container offers, and we can offer most destinations very affordably by container.
Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) transport: The car is secured on a special ship deck designed for vehicle transport.

Whichever method you choose, we make sure your vehicle is carefully secured for a safe journey across the sea. You can also take out transport insurance through SCL.

BPM declaration and RDW inspection for your muscle car

After import, there are several steps we arrange for you:

BPM declaration (Dutch vehicle registration tax): We prepare a calculation in advance using an advantageous method so you pay as little tax as possible.
RDW inspection (Dutch technical registration test): We arrange the RDW inspection and check the car in our own workshop beforehand, which ensures a fast and smooth inspection. After the inspection you'll receive a Dutch registration, or a German vehicle document (KFZ registration), depending on the type of car and your wishes.

What should you keep in mind when importing a muscle car?

A few essential questions to ask yourself:

Is the maintenance history known?
Is the vehicle free of any damage history?
Can you have a pre-purchase inspection carried out?

We offer additional services such as pre-purchase inspection and a payment service to make sure your muscle car is in good condition before it's imported.
