Step 1
The demand for American cars in the Russian market has been consistently high for many years. The reason for this is their high quality and equipment. In addition, it turns out that the delivery of cars from the United States by sea is much cheaper for customers than driving a similar car on its own from European countries.
Step 2
Purchase a vehicle in the USA using a dedicated online catalog or by order and directly from the warehouse. However, today it is not necessary to cross the ocean for this. So, a very decent used car can be bought online at an online auction. These auctions have one feature - they are mostly dealerships, that is, before you buy a car, you first place an application for it through one of the dealers, make a deposit, and only after the purchase you pay the rest of the amount. After that, it is transported to the port. Depending on the distance to the port, delivery can cost from $ 750 to $ 1,500. This can take anywhere from two days to two weeks.
Step 3
Delivery of cars from the USA is carried out mainly by sea. Transportation of cars from the USA to Europe is carried out in containers and can last up to one and a half months. Trucks that do not fit in a container are transported openly on specialized ferries.
Step 4
Explore the offers of car dealerships or find a reliable intermediary company that will deliver your car. Please note that a good organization will insure both your car and its own risks, and therefore, even before signing a contract with you, it will ask you to familiarize yourself with the terms of insurance. A reputable company should also have its own parking lot for arriving vehicles.
Step 5
Be sure to calculate the costs. Shipping by sea can cost the buyer about $ 1,500 to $ 2,500. Some of the cars are delivered to Russia through the Finnish port of Kotka, but options with delivery to Russia, for example, through Novorossiysk or Vladivostok, are quite possible. Container transportation is also advantageous because it does not depend on the type of transport.
Step 6
If you wish, you can drive a car from the port either on your own or by paying for the services of one of the companies involved in the transfer. Do not forget that port charges will be added to the rest.
Step 7
Another delivery option is by transport aircraft. It is certainly faster, but naturally more expensive. In addition, the list of cities accepting such planes is very limited - these are Moscow and St. Petersburg.
