    Some of the most common types of vehicle shipping services to France are:

    containerized car shipping; Roll-on Roll-off (RO-RO) car transport (enclosed or on the deck); other possibilities are door-to-door car transport, terminal-to-terminal car shipping, specialty car shipping services (exotic car transport, non-operational vehicle transport, enclosed car transport etc); delivery to a specified location, storage needs etc.

    Containerized shipping to France the most common way used to ship a vehicle, personal belongings and/or household goods. Shipping container can be delivered to your home and you can load the car yourself. In addition you can ship your personal items with your auto. Keep in mind that loading the vehicle in the container is not easy and it is advised to employ professionals. The ocean container sits on chassis about four feet above the ground, has no platforms, lift gates or ramps. The car needs to be secured, blocked, and braced inside the container.

    If you choose not to pack the container yourself, your car can be picked up at your door and delivered to our nearest warehouse, where it will be loaded into the shipping container. This option is chosen by our customers most often, as in this case our company would take care of EVERYTHING since the moment your vehicle is picked up. Once the container is loaded and delivered to the U.S. port, it will be transferred onto a ship going to a specific port in France.

    Another thing to consider is that you can often only collect marine insurance if the container is professionally packed. On the brighter side, the loading charges will only be a small portion of your total shipping cost.

    The other most popular option in international car shipping to France is RO-RO, which stands for Roll-On/Roll-Off service and basically means that your car will be “rolled on” the ship at the port of origin and “rolled off” at the port of destination. This service is limited to only a select group of ports in US and France – please contact us for this information.

    If you are shipping your vehicle to France, there are certain documents and information you will have to secure:
    • Make note you will need the original title of the vehicle.
    • If there is a lien on the vehicle (i.e., the vehicle is financed), you will need the notarized copy of the title and a letter from the lien holder (if applicable), authorizing the exportation of the car. If you purchased a car in US you will need the original title and a Bill of Sale.
    • Most countries, including France, require you to present a bill of lading, showing how, when and by what means of transport the vehicle was shipped (USAC will provide this document).
    Preparing your vehicle for international shipping:
    • Before the pick up, please make sure the gas tank has less than ¼ of gas.
    • Trucker will need 1 set of keys.
    • The alarm must be disabled.
    • If necessary, winterize your vehicle to protect the radiators and battery from freezing.
    • It is advisable not to leave anything of value inside the vehicle.
    • Personal belongings or parts are strictly prohibited inside the vehicles for Ro-Ro shipping.
    • Make sure the driver goes over all scratches, dents etc and gives you a signed copy of the bill of lading showing all exceptions. This is an important document that insurance company will ask for in case your vehicle arrives damaged
    • If shipping a motorhome or RV with LPG (liquid propane gas) tank, the tank must be completely drained by an authorized dealer, and proper certificate must be provided. Another option is to completely remove the tank.
    • If shipping a boat to France, it is a good idea to shrink-wrap it, to prevent moisture accumulation and unauthorized access. It may also prevent small damages, such as scratches.
