Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Amsterdam

The cost of shipping a car from the USA to Europe starts at around $900 per car in a shared container (consolidated container) to roughly $2,900 inside an exclusive 20ft container or around $4,200 inside an individual 40ft container.

If you move to the Netherlands and bring your car with you as a so-called 'moving article,' you can keep your registration plates for 6 months. After that, you have to apply for Dutch vehicle registration at the RDW. Your vehicle must be approved by the RDW. This requires a physical inspection.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
