You won’t be allowed to sell or even loan your car to anyone once it reaches Iceland and if you leave the country you will have to make sure it is exported back to the United States immediately.

Before Your Car Leaves the Port of Exit

Before your car leaves the port of exit in the United States, you will want to make sure that you have a detailed price quote that will include all shipping fees as well as transport fees if the company needs to transport your car to the exit port. The cost of shipping will vary depending on the type of shipping that you use for your car. You will also want to contact U.S. Customs to see if there is paperwork that you may have missed while preparing the car for export from the U.S. The least expensive way to ship your car is Roro Shipping. Roro is the most widely used form of international shipping in the world and is generally the safest way to ship a car. If you are relocating permanently or will need to be in Iceland for an extended period of time due to work or school you may want to ship your personal household belongings along with your car.

Container Shipping

If you need to do that, then you would want to ship with Container Shipping. You can easily have personal items loaded inside of your car as well as inside of the container when shipping. You can also use Air Shipping if you will need your car quickly. Air Shipping is great for those who may have expensive luxury cars and want them to arrive as fast as possible.

For more information on shipping internationally, you can contact your auto transport agent or you may want to contact the Embassy of Iceland to gather details on shipping customs and documentation that may have been added to the list of required documents. Customs laws tend to change from time to time and you will want to know the most up-to-date information.

Information Regarding A1’s International Shipping Services

Through A1, we offer four different international transport methods for oversized cargo and heavy equipment. Not all of these shipping methods will be offered to you. What you’re able to take advantage of will rely heavily on what type of cargo you’re shipping to Hungary. For example, container shipping is the safest form of delivery we offer yet if your cargo is too large to fit into the largest (40ft) shipping container, you will not have access to this form of transport.

Transport Methods

The rest of the transport methods we offer are open-air services. They include RoRo shipping, LoLo shipping, and flat rack shipping. All of them are affordable and cost-efficient yet the way they carry out a delivery is different. RoRo shipping is the cheapest but it is only available to those shipping vehicles or equipment that can drive onto the ship using a ramp. LoLo shipping is suggested for those shipping crated equipment or inoperable vehicles outside of the U.S. With the third open-air shipping method your cargo is secured to a metal frame before it’s placed on the boat. This method is referred to as flat rack transport and it’s available to anyone.
