We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
