Typical Hauling Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• Most cars can be shipped from the U.S. to Azerbaijan for an amount somewhere in between $2,300 and $4,500.
• Shipping itself can be relatively affordable, but vehicle imports are taxed at 20% to 30% of the car's value, in addition to a value-added tax (VAT) and customs fees, which are usually another 20%.

Cost & Time Examples For Importing A Vehicle

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

*Save on ground transport costs by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional ten days to process the documents.

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

*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.

When you move to Azerbaijan, you may have reason to ship your car so you can drive independently without hiring a driver. Thanks to the oil boom over the last 10 years, most major roadways and over half of the secondary roads in Azerbaijan are paved and easily maneuvered in a car.

To have your car shipped overseas, you will need to hire a transport company and then decide what type of shipping you will use and if you will need to have your car picked up in the United States and driven to the nearest port or if you will be moving it to the port yourself. You’ll also need to determine whether you will be at the port of entry in Azerbaijan to pick your car up or if you will need to have it delivered to your new home. When having a car shipped overseas, it isn’t the same as having it shipped state to state in the U.S. There are required documents and regulations one must abide by, as well as paperwork that must be filled out. Your carrier agent will be able to assist you with each step of the hauling process and can explain to you the paperwork and documents necessary for car shipping.

Before You Haul

Before you ship/export your vehicle, make sure that you have a quote from your transport agent that includes the total cost of shipping, pick-up, and delivery and any fees they may have for cleaning the vehicle. Most moving agencies will require you to have the car cleaned thoroughly before moving it by removing all personal items from the vehicle's interior. There may also be exterior items that must be removed before haul, and your agent will determine if anything needs to be brought to your attention. If you will need to have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the exit port or picked up at the entry port in Azerbaijan, you will need to make arrangements with the transport agency to have that added to your shipping fees.

Ways to Have Your Vehicle Shipped

There are three primary ways to have your vehicle shipped overseas. These are the types of shipping available for Azerbaijan:

• Roll-On Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) Ro-Ro shipping is the easiest and most efficient way to ship a vehicle overseas. Ro-Ro hauling simply means that your car will be driven aboard the ship at the exit port and then driven off at the exit port. The vehicle is secured on the ship's deck by straps or brackets and by wooden feet to ensure safety from rolling. Ro-Ro Shipping is an effective way of transporting cars, trucks, SUVs, buses, and other vehicles.
• Container Shipping- Container moving is excellent for those who need to ship personal items along with their vehicle. You will use a 20-foot container for a single car, and for two cars, you will use a 40-foot container. If you have one car but need the extra space for personal items as well, a 40-foot container is advised. You can also share a container with others who may be sending their vehicles to the same destination. Container importing is more costly than Ro-Ro Shipping due to the fee for the container.
• Air Cargo Shipping—Air Cargo Shipping is the best option if you have a luxury car or freight that needs to arrive quickly. While It is the most expensive way to ship overseas, it is also the quickest way to have your vehicle or personal items arrive in Azerbaijan.

Methods of International Transport for Heavy Equipment

The methods of international transport for oversized cargo available to you through A1 will depend on the type of heavy equipment you’d like to have shipped to Azerbaijan. We will certainly help you decide what method is best for your future transport; however, here is some information regarding the shipping services we have available…

• The Lift-on/Lift-off method of transport is also known as LoLo hauling. It is a reasonably priced shipping service that requires a crane. We will secure your large, inoperable vehicle or crated heavy equipment before allowing the crane to lift it onto or off of the boat.
• The Roll-on/Roll-off shipping method, also known as RoRo, is our least expensive shipping service. This is an open-air moving service that requires your vehicle to be operable. The large equipment will need to roll onto and off of the boat using a ramp.
• The flat rack shipping method is recommended for those wishing for the utmost security. This shipping method secures your cargo to an open rack or metal frame. It is then carefully placed on top of the cargo ship.
• Container shipping is perhaps the most expensive option, yet it isn’t available to all those looking for overseas heavy equipment shipping services. You may be eligible for this service if your cargo can fit inside a 40-foot shipping container despite its heavier weight. Container moving provides the ultimate protection from outside elements during the cargo’s transport.
