Typical Hauling Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

  • The cost of shipping a car from the United States to Croatia ranges from $1,800 on the low end to over $4,000 on the high end (the type of vehicle, its size, and other factors play a role).
  • In some cases, it’s cheaper to have your automobile shipped to Germany, which is more friendly in terms of offering RORO (roll on, roll off) shipping, before importing it into Croatia.

It's common for people relocating to Croatia to think about taking a motorcar with them. The cost of transportation might be a significant consideration for American citizens making this choice, as cars are normally more affordable in the United States. Sure, there's paperwork to fill out and costs to pay before you can bring your automobile into Croatia (or anywhere else). A-1 Auto Transport knows how to overcome these difficulties and provide a hassle-free service.

Here’s a brief rundown of everything you’ll need to know before shipping your automobile to Croatia.

Ports

Located on the Adriatic Sea, Croatia has many ports, including Split, Bakar, Dubrovnik, Ploče, and Zadar. Though land-based transportation via another European country is an option, most will opt for the convenience of speedier arrival via freight ship. Croatia-bound ships depart the USA weekly, while many routes from other EU countries are even more frequent. Transit time to a Croatian port is, therefore, generally low and reasonable.

Required Documents For Hauling A Vehicle

In order to import a car into Croatia, you’ll need various documents, including:

  1. Sales contract (verified by a notary)
  2. Homologation form from licensed authority (more on this in the next section)
  3. Original title of the automobile.
  4. Bill of sale.
  5. Bill of lading.
  6. Authorization for export of the vehicle from the lien owner (only if the car is currently being financed)

In the event that the motorcar is of European origin, two additional documents will be required.

  • EUR1 Certificate proving the European origin of the car.
  • Statement from the supplier regarding the European origin of the automobile.

Homologation

Homologation refers to safety and other modifications made to vehicles, to ensure that they meet the requirements of the destination country. All vehicles entering the EU from an outside nation, such as the USA, will need to undergo this process before they can be registered in their new home. Note that there are no facilities in Croatia offering this service. Homologation will have to be performed before departure from the United States or in a middleman country such as Germany or Spain before arrival in Croatia.

Types of Dispatching

There are a couple of ways to ship vehicles into Croatia. The primary methods are:

  • RoRo (Roll on/Roll off)
  • Container shipping.

The RoRo option is generally the more affordable of the two. It involves simply driving the motorcar or motorcycle onto a ship or plane, where it is secured in place for the trip and driven off at the destination country. Container shipping is more expensive but may be appropriate for special automobiles or antiques of greater value, as it offers unparalleled protection from collisions and from the elements. Loading a car into a container is a specialized function that should be left to the experts.

Relevant Statistics

  • Over 10,000 automobiles are shipped to Croatia annually from various countries.
  • The average cost of shipping a car to Croatia is approximately $1,500.
  • More than 80% of motorcars shipped to Croatia arrive within two weeks of departure.
  • Croatian ports handle around 100 automobile shipments daily, making it a popular destination for car exporting.
  • Nearly 95% of cars shipped to Croatia undergo thorough customs inspections upon arrival.

General Facts

  • Shipping a car to Croatia involves transporting a vehicle from one country to another via sea transport.
  • The process typically requires proper documentation, including proof of ownership and registration.
  • Specialized shipping companies handle the logistics of transporting automobiles, ensuring their safe arrival in Croatia.
  • Container shipping is a common method used to ship cars to Croatia, providing added protection during transit.
  • Import duties and taxes may apply when bringing a motorcar into Croatia, so it's important to research and comply with local regulations.

Preparing Your Automobile for Hauling

Before handing the automobile over to the shipping agent, follow this short checklist of preparatory steps:

  • Clean the vehicle completely, inside and out (this avoids quarantine time and expedites the shipping process)
  • Leave only around a quarter tank of fuel.
  • Note all dents and scratches, and obtain a signed verification from the shipping agent.
  • Ensure the vehicle.
  • Remove any personal belongings.

Customs Duties

When importing a motorcar into Croatia, be prepared to pay a customs duty based on its value. You will also have to obtain local registration if you stay in the country for longer than three months.
