Car Shipping Chalcis
Ship Your Car To Or From Chalcis, Greece
Located on the island of Euboea, Chalcis can be found just steps away from the Euripus Channel which separates Euboea from the mainland of Greece. While visiting Greece, you may want to venture toward Chalcis, the famous city which offers a lot to the tourists throughout the year. Whether you are coming to visit, to go to school, or to seek employment, you will find something that you love.
Chalcis offers public transportation and it is easy to use in order to get around. However, if you plan on a long visit or if you want to live in Greece, you may want to consider bringing your own vehicle (to Greece) over with you instead. This will allow you to save money that you would normally be spending on public transportation and using it to pay your own gas for your vehicle. You will be able to go wherever you want to go, when you want to go.
You will first need to hire A1 Auto Transport Service which will help you throughout the importing process. These trained professionals can offer more than twenty years of experience, which will put your mind at ease when importing. Your import will need to go to a port that accepts passenger vehicles; Port of Piraeus is the biggest port in Europe for delivering vehicles.
You will first need to gather up all your paperwork needed to successfully transport your vehicle from the United States port to a port in Europe. A-1 Auto Transport Service agent will be able to assist you in gathering all the necessary objects.

- All new vehicles will need to pay VAT payments and fees to get the vehicle legal no matter what.
