Ship to Europe

Is there anyone who can recommend a safe, good, sensible way to ship a 911 from New York to France please? Any experience or good address would be welcome. Tks.

I haven't used them yet, I plan on shipping my car to the middle east.

He said its about $1000 for a roll-on shipment approx. 35 days (which is how all the cars arrive in the US) and around $3500 for a container approx. 45 days.

So I imagine to France it would be around $700 and 25 days.

But you have to call ASAP to find a spot on a ship

Tks. My concern is that some say Roro is not good and container is better. Now because of dollar pric there are shortages on containers going outbound. The car is likely to stay on a dock or in a warehouse for some time. I need to know a good carrier specialised in expensive cars.

I have shipped cars to Rotterdam. I used Atlantic Container Lines. Did not use container. Leave absolutely nothing in the car. Not even floor mats. They will steal them (U.S. Guys).
