Transport Options: Choose the Best Way to Get Your Car to the Netherlands

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

Container transport: The car is transported in a container, which is the most affordable option.
Ro-Ro transport: The car is driven directly onto the specially designated ship deck and securely fastened there.

For both options, we can also arrange transport insurance, ensuring that your car is well protected during the journey.

Importing a used car involves many steps, but we handle all of them for you. We take care of:

BPM declaration: We calculate the lowest possible BPM for you in advance.
RDW inspection: We have the car inspected by the RDW.
License plate registration: We put the car on Dutch plates and can even arrange road transport. Don't need Dutch plates? Then we are happy to arrange a German registration (KFZ registration) for you.

Thanks to our fast and professional handling, your imported vehicle will be delivered quickly, even to your door.
