When you ship your car to Germany with ShipLux… Say “Auf wiedersehen!” to worry!

When setting off on your next great adventure, you want to have all the details in place and limit any surprises to the good ones! Moving to Germany means adapting to a new country, a new continent, and a new culture, so sometimes you want to bring something familiar with you. When the ‘something familiar’ you want to bring with you is a car, the details can feel overwhelming and the surprises might not always be the good ones. The experts at ShipLux can help you navigate shipping a car to Germany, so you can say, “Auf wiedersehen!” to stress and unpleasant surprises. Our proprietary 24/365 communication system means that your dedicated account representative is available anytime for your peace of mind, even across continents!

There are many reasons you might want to ship a car to Germany. Perhaps you’re planning to enjoy an extended overseas vacation, or maybe you’re shipping out to a new duty station with the US military. Your reasons for shipping a car to Germany are unique, so you should start by asking yourself a few essential questions. To start, will this be a temporary or permanent move? You may bring your vehicle into Germany for up to six months after paying a deposit and completing the required paperwork. While some classic and antique autos may escape duty fees when being shipped to Germany, it is ultimately up to the customs official whether or not to waive taxes. Permanent imports may be eligible to have duty fees and some taxes waived, though there will be more paperwork to complete. Let the logistics experts at ShipLux help ease the burden from port to port when shipping a car to Germany.

So, how much does it cost to ship a vehicle to Germany? As you may have guessed, the exact amount to ship a car to Germany will vary. The average cost to ship a car from the US to Germany is between $900 and $1300 plus applicable duty fees and taxes. Any car less than 30 years old will be subject to a 10% import duty and a 19% value-added tax (VAT) upon arrival in Germany, though these may be waived at the discretion of the customs official. When you get a quote for shipping a car to Germany with ShipLux, the cost will depend on factors such as pick up and delivery specifics, the make and model of the vehicle, and the type of transport you choose. Port to port and door to door delivery are available, with door to door pickup and delivery requiring additional overland transport. Larger vehicles, modified vehicles, and enclosed shipping will cost more. You can also choose between air and sea transport and whether you prefer roll-on/roll-off service or a more secure shipping container transport. Whatever you decide, honest, transparent pricing is the ShipLux guarantee, and Premium Service is always included!

The ShipLux Experience

Trailer Types: Open vs Enclosed Shipping

Open shipping

open car shipping

Open shipping is easier to schedule and more economical than enclosed, making it the perfect choice for shipping a daily driver. We have a wide variety of open-style trailers to suit your shipping needs. While you may need to give your vehicle a wash after delivery, our meticulous attention to detail means that any open vehicle transportation is handled with Premium Service from start to finish.

Enclosed Shipping

open car shipping

Enclosed trailers ensure the ultimate protection from the elements. With many trailer styles to choose from, we offer enclosed shipping for a wide range of vehicle shipments. Every enclosed vehicle shipment comes with the White Glove Treatment, meaning your vehicle will arrive in exactly the same condition it left.
