ShippingThe price of car transport is a big expense and not set in stone. Do the math on a $38,000 car and you’re looking at a potential $10,000+ customs bill in the event of a worst case scenario. When your car gets to port, it’s going to be charged storage fees, and they are going to add up quickly. That “deal” at €38,000 now costs more than buying the same car domestically — without the headaches. Further reductions in individual costs can be achieved in groupage services, where several vehicles are using the same container.
