Has anyone shipped a vehicle(s) from the US as part of their household affects after relocating to Switzerland? I am trying to find a reliable shipping company and would appreciate any feedback.

Hi,

I'm just finishing up a similar process for myself. I used a service for roll-on-roll-off delivery from Ontario to Zurich, through Rotterdam.

At first, they seemed expensive, but when I compared a bunch of shippers they turned out to be very competitive.

I have only used them once, but it was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but now that I have been through the process I feel better about it.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your response. Mind if I ask what shipper did you use?

This is the company I used:聽 marlog-car-handling.com/nl/

Lucas initially organized my delivery.

If your cars are newer than 2018, it would be wise to confirm that they will be able to be certified without major headaches. Some regulations have become tight.

If you need any additional information don't hesitate to ask!
