Q:What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?
The cheapest kind of international car shipping is a RORO vessel. This shipping method is often more affordable for shipping cars than containers or air freight. However, it also leaves your vehicle more susceptible to damage during transport to your final destination.
Q:Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?
It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.
Q:Can you bring your car to Switzerland?
Vehicles that you wish to import permanently into Switzerland must be spontaneously declared for import at a customs office responsible for merchandise. Bring all supporting documents that are necessary for the assessment, e.g.: Invoice and/or contract of sale.
