Ship Car To Aarhus

Car Shipping Aarhus

The second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus, is situated on the Jutland peninsula, about 116 miles from Copenhagen. If you are moving here from the USA, importing your vehicle and household goods is best.

However, you have the option of importing it temporarily or permanently. Thus, all you need to do is contact our service and apply for the requisite permits.

Cost & Time Examples For Moving a Vehicle

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground carrying cost by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to deliver a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Importing Temporarily

If you work at a temporary job or are a student, you can get the vehicle here temporarily. That does not incur the taxes. The benefit of temporary import is that you have your vehicle for as long as you are in Aarhus. Some of the needed documentation includes:

• Vehicle title deed.
• Proof of visa/length of stay.
• Import fee of DKK 400 and receipt of payment.

Permanent Vehicle Import

It is usually the norm for people to import the vehicle permanently when they return to their home country or are here on a long-term basis. The permanent import requires you to register the vehicle within 14 days of import to Denmark. After the car arrives in Aarhus, the steps to get the car registered include:

• A vehicle must pass an inspection before being registered at the government-approved inspection center.
• The Danish Register of Motor Vehicles will complete an evaluation of the vehicle. You need to keep the receipt, allowing you to drive legally.
• Pay the registration tax based on the price evaluation, which can be paid at the motor registration offices.
• After paying the registration tax, you can apply for the license plate.

The Danish Register of Motor Vehicles offers much information, as laws and regulations regularly change. This is why it is essential to know about the procedures before you start the shipment process. However, when you work with our service, there are no issues that we don’t cover and ensure that U.S. customs and Danish customs are adequately cleared.

Shipment Processes

There are many ways of shifting a vehicle, including driving it across or air hauling it, but the most common methods include:

• Roll-On/Roll-Off: This is the most common way to ship to Denmark. Your vehicle is driven on the ship deck and driven off it at the Port of Copenhagen. On board the freight ship, it is harnessed in place so there is no damage during transit. It is the most affordable way to send the vehicle, as only parking charges apply. However, only an empty vehicle with all personal belongings can be shipped, and air conditioning gas can be removed.
• Container moving: This is safer and offers more security. Your vehicle and personal belongings are put within twenty or forty feet of containers and sealed for transit. If you are relocating a luxury vehicle or vintage car, this is the best way to transport it, as it is protected against weather conditions. This is more expensive due to the extra layer of safety.
