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, it is best to import your vehicle along with the household goods.

However, you have the option of importing it temporarily or permanently. Thus, all you need to do is contact to 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 are working 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

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

• A vehicle has to pass an inspection before it can be 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 that will allow you to drive legally.
• Pay the registration tax based on the price evaluation and can be paid at the Motor registration offices.
• After the registration tax is paid, you can apply for the license plate.

The Danish Register of Motor Vehicles offers a lot of information, as laws and regulations keep changing regularly. This is why it is important to know about the procedures before you start the process of shipment. 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 cleared properly.

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 across 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 that there is no damage during transit. It is the most affordable way of sending the vehicle as only parking charges are applicable. However, only an empty vehicle can be shipped with all personal belongings, and air conditioning gas removed from it.
• Container moving: This is a safer and offers more security. Your vehicle along with personal belongings is put within twenty or forty feet 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.
