I am interested in a car that is located in Sandnes, Norway. Does anyone have any experience with shipping a vehicle from Norway? Its a racecar so it doesn't need to comply with any DOT regs here in the US.

Thanks
Justin

Speaking here not from personal experience, but that of a friend. They used a1autotransport to ship a standard daily driver, but it was from the U.S. to Norway. I would assume a company that delivers to Norway from the U.S. would also be able to ship a vehicle in the other direction. They give free estimates from the look of things so it might be worth a call to see what sort of pricing they have. Definitely won't be cheap, but you can save some money by contacting a couple different options and looking at costs.

Thanks for the info. I expected much more then only 10 days.
Do you know maybe what are the costs? How do they charge the transportation? By the car, by the weight,…?

You can ship Ro-Ro, like in a ferry without driver. They charge by the volume.
By volume I mean volume of the box fitting the car, and I paid £2000 for a 2.4 meter high vanagon from Southampton (GB) to Newark , ten days.

For a race car, I would ship it in a container, shared or not, depending on the car size. It's safer.

For example half a container, high cube, for a vanagon from Newark to Le Havre (France) $1600 3 weeks at sea.

Super, thanks for the advice.
I thought that the prices are much higher. And also the time of travelling is not so bad, especially with this Ro-Ro thing.
What kind of a car did you brought?
