Shipping A Car To Northern Cyprus
Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?
- Shipping a car to Northern Cyprus from the U.S. will usually cost from $1,800 to $4,200, though the costs can go higher depending on what type (and size) of the vehicle is being shipped.
- The most affordable method is to have it transported in a shipping container on a boat.
Relocating overseas takes a lot of careful planning, and when you need to have your car shipped you will need to plan ahead of time and follow certain procedures carefully. Northern Cyprus, which is a self-declared state that is located in the Northeastern section of the Island of Cyprus requires many forms to be filled out and documents that will need to be given to customs when importing into the area. You’ll need to hire an auto transporter who ships internationally to have your car shipped overseas and you will need to make sure you have insurance that will cover international exporting and importing.
If your insurance doesn’t cover international ventures don’t worry. International shipping insurance is easily obtained and your shipping agent will be able to direct you to the right source for it. You will need to provide the transport company with your driver’s license, social security number, the title of the vehicle, insurance certificate and a signed Power of Attorney which will allow them to transport your car. They will fully explain any other documentation that will be needed prior to shipping.

What to Know Before You Ship
Before your car ever reaches the port of exit in the United States, you will need to have a total quote prepared for you by the shipping agent. This quote needs to detail transportation via land in the U.S. to the port, shipping overseas and detailing the car if necessary by the shipping company. They will let you know what fees must be paid upfront as well as the total you will need to pay when the car arrives in Northern Cyprus. You may also want to check with the U.S Customs and Border Protection Agency to see if there have been any changes made to overseas shipping regulations and if you will need additional paperwork. You’ll also want to be fully informed of the cost of shipping overseas and the different ways that your car can be shipped. There are three main ways to choose from when shipping your car internationally. If you will only be shipping your car and no personal items, then the quickest way to ship is via Roro Shipping. Your car will be rolled onto the ship at the port of exit in the U.S. and rolled off when it arrives in Northern Cyprus. If you have personal items that will need to be shipped inside of your car, or along with your car, then you will need to use Container Shipping. Your personal items can be easily placed inside of the container and shipped along with it. You may also opt for International Air Shipping which will allow for personal items to be shipped but will also provide you with the fastest way possible to have your car with you.
Your auto transport agent will walk you through the entire international shipping procedure and help you compile all of the required documentation. They are knowledgeable about the various shipping options and the estimated time it will take for your vehicle to reach Northern Cyprus.
