On our website, you can purchase cars from global auto auctions and arrange delivery to almost any country. Let's explore how the delivery process itself unfolds and how much time it takes.

How will my car be delivered from a car auction in the USA and Canada?

The delivery methods and timelines primarily depend on the country of car purchase and its final destination. Most cars are acquired from auctions in the USA and Canada, with the majority of clients opting for delivery to European countries. Let's consider an example of delivering a car from a US auction in Miami to Poland, specifically to the city of Warsaw.

How long do the delivery stages take?

After purchasing the car, our company processes the necessary documents and retrieves it from the auction within a short period, typically two days. Subsequently, the car is transported to the nearest port, marking the beginning of the maritime delivery. The average delivery time within the USA ranges from 2 to 7 days, depending on the distance from the departure port.

We utilize maritime vessels for delivery, loading cars into containers or transporting them on RoRo-type ships designed for car transportation. Both methods ensure safety and nearly eliminate any damages during transit. Maritime lines from the USA/Canada to Europe offer relatively swift shipping, and the preparation for car export begins while the vehicle is en route to the port.

After loading onto the ship, the maritime delivery process commences, typically taking 2-4 weeks depending on the final destination. Buyers in Portugal and France may receive their cars a bit faster than clients in Estonia, Norway, or Turkey.

What happens after the car arrives in my country?

Let's assume the car arrives at the port of Rotterdam (Germany) or Gdansk (Poland). We mention both ports since they are popular among clients in Poland. In Rotterdam, a more cost-effective customs clearance can be conducted, especially beneficial for clients with more expensive cars. Considering the cost savings, clients can still opt for delivery from the German port to Poland, which often proves more advantageous than undergoing customs clearance in Polish ports.

How quickly can you deliver a car to my city?

Ground delivery of the car from the port to the client's city is carried out using specialized car carriers, capable of accommodating 5-12 vehicles and commonly used for transporting new and used cars. This process typically takes 2-3 days. We protect the cars with covers during transport to prevent damage from road gravel.

The international car delivery process requires coordinated efforts from our team of professionals. After meticulously processing all documents and collecting the car from the auction, we monitor every stage of the delivery. Collaborating with leading maritime lines and ports, we ensure the safety and efficiency of transporting your cars.

A crucial step is preparing the car for export. Our team ensures that each car is ready for maritime shipment, including inspection and packaging in special protective covers, if necessary. This guarantees that your car reaches its destination in pristine condition.

Our company provides services for tracking and securing cargo throughout the entire journey. We offer clients real-time information on the status and location of the car, instilling confidence in the delivery process. Thus, partnering with us ensures reliability, transparency, and quality at every stage of international car transportation.

Our goal is not only to provide you access to a wide range of cars but also to ensure their seamless delivery to any corner of the world. We strive for a high level of service, where every client can be confident that their car will be delivered on time and in perfect condition.
