You might think that shipping cars overseas is the same no matter what kind of car you are shipping. But building an exotic car takes more care and attention at every step. The owners of exotic cars take good care of them, and they expect international shipping companies to do the same.
The Options
When shipping their cars overseas, owners of exotic cars have a number of choices. Many people choose to ship their unusual animals by plane. It is the fastest way to get there, and planes leave the UAE every day for major cities in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other places. But shipping an exotic animal by plane is the most expensive way to do it.
A container is a cheaper way to ship something out of the country. The car is driven inside a container, which keeps it safe. The container is then put on a ship that sails to the final destination. Even though going by water is slower than by air, the money you save and the extra security can be worth it. Not all expensive cars go by air, but many exotic and classic cars that cost more than $1 million have been sent this way.
Getting The Exotic To The Departure Point
Most people choose enclosed transport when shipping exotic cars overseas so that nosy people can’t see them and the cars stay clean.
Many people also forget how low exotic cars are to the ground, which makes it hard to get on a transporter without ramps so that the front lip doesn’t get scratched. Even though the front of many modern exotic cars can be raised, this is still the case. Some transporters won’t move your exotic because it has low ground clearance.
Even though exotic cars are smaller than most, they tend to be wide. The Lamborghini Aventador is almost 2 inches wider than a full-size Range Rover. So the people who move cars have to be extra careful when putting them in tight trailers. Most of the time, this is not a problem with carriers that are closed.
Check In Process
Once the exotic car is unloaded, the vehicle coordinator looks at how it is now compared to how it was when it was picked up. If all the marks are the same, they sign off on the driver and take the car. But if there is damage that wasn’t seen, they carefully check every part of the car, inside and out, to make sure nothing was missed. Aside from “acts of god,” transporters who work with exotic cars are careful, and there are no reports of damage to cars they have moved before. When they get work, they have to meet strict rating requirements. Transporters with a history of damage might as well go into a different business.
After the cars have been inspected and pictures have been taken, they are put away until the day they leave. The cars are kept inside, in a warehouse that is monitored by cameras and has covers and tools to keep the batteries charged.
Prepare For Departure
Depending on which international shipping service is chosen, the date of departure will change. When shipping by plane, the cars are taken to the airport and put on a flight that was already planned. In some cases, that can mean that the same people leave. Most of the time, departure dates depend on what the shipper needs.
But if you choose to ship the car in a container, it will go on the next ship that has room. The most popular places in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are where ships leave every week. Some of the more unusual places may have to wait an extra week or two before a ship can go there. Shipping companies can set up departures for the same day in advance.
