Container shipping is the second most secure, and the second most expensive, but far less than airfreight. Container service is available out of and into more ports, and also offers more service options in terms of transit time. Roll On / Roll Off is also very secure, and is the way most people and car manufacturers ship cars all over the world. Instead of being loaded, blocked, and braced into a standard shipping container, your vehicle will be driven onto a specialized vessel for shipping self-propelled units, and parked under deck. A RoRo vessel is akin to a floating garage.

Another feature that that may make you prefer to use a RoRo vessel for overseas shipping to Kotka, Finland is that it is much easier to pick up your vehicle from the port of discharge. If you shipped inside a container, you will need to find a company that can truck the container off the pier, unload the container completely, and return the empty shipping container pack to the port, these charges can add up, and make RoRo the option of many who want the best balance between cost and security in international auto shipping.

Another reason to find a reliable overseas shipping company in Finland is they only local agents in Finland can advise and handle import customs for cars, as well as local port fees in Kotka. This shipping company in Finland. Inland transportation to your door in Finland is also usually handled by the company that aids you with import customs clearance.

Another method of overseas auto shipping is in an ocean container. This service is also available to Poland from the United States.

Five of the Best Car Chase Scenes in Movie History - And How You Can Ship Those Popular Cars Overseas

Nothing beats the excitement of a good action movie.  But not all action movies are good, there are several necessary components for an action movie to work: 

First - you obviously need a villain, a hero and a lady in distress
Second - you need a suspense filled plot line that keeps you on the edge of your seat

Third- you need a couple of fast-paced, action filled sequences

In regards to the third requirement, nothing satisfies a movie-goer more than a crazy, action-packed, thrilling car chase scene.  Sure there are the fight scenes, the scenes that add a twist to the plot, or the scenes that give you a glimpse of the handsome hero and beautiful lady in distress.  But nothing makes viewers slightly envious of the perks of being an actor as watching a great car chase scene.  Who doesn't dream of driving through the streets at 100 miles per hour with complete disregard for the rules of the road?

At K International, we know how you feel, we secretly have the same dream.  As a leading international car shipping company, we have car envy every single day!  As a tribute, we honor the top five best car chases in movie history - let us know what you think!

Gone in 60 Seconds

Most movies are approximately 1.5 to 2 hours long, so you should have at least a few minutes of action mixed in there somewhere.  The original Gone in 60 Seconds is known as the mother of  all movie car crashes.  Imagine a whopping 34 minutes worth of car chases!  There are a bevy of great vehicles in the movie, but none is as popular as "Eleanor" the 1973 Ford Mustang featured in the movie.   One of the most popular vehicles we ship overseas is the Ford Mustang.  We offer overseas car shipping services for vintage and brand new Ford Mustangs from the United States to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Mediterranean and everywhere else in between!

Check out the trailer for Gone in 60 Seconds to get a glimpse of how the makers of the movie managed to destroy over 90 cars!
 
                               

Featured in one of the best movie car chase scenes of all time, is Eleanor, a 1973 Ford Mustang.

The Blues Brothers

The next car chase on our list is from The Blues Brothers. The car crashes in the movie even set a world record!  A whopping 103 cars were wrecked during the movie!  This record stood until 2000, when the updated The Blues Brothers movie wrecked 104 cars.  In the movie the car chase includes a scene that takes place in a mall!  The cop cars, aka "Bluesmobiles",  used in the movie were retired Dodge Monaco's. For car collectors, a Dodge Monaco is highly prized, but parts for the vehicle are hard to find.  Today collectors around the world turn to Ford Crown Victoria's instead to get a similar vehicle.  Each year hundreds of Ford Crown Victoria's are shipped overseas to the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, from the United States.

Enjoy the below clip from the movie:

                

Bullitt

Bullitt is probably one of the most well-known classic car chase scenes in movie history.  The chase takes place through the hilly streets of San Francisco. The chase scene includes the popular actor Steve McQueen burning rubber in a 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback.  No list of popular movie car chase scenes would be complete without mentioning Bullitt.

Watch the below clip and see if you get motion sickness following this car chase sequence:

                                     


The French Connection

The movie The French Connection not only took home the Academy Award for Best Motion Picture in 1971, but it also was further embedded into movie history as containing one of the best car chase scenes.  In the movie one of the main character's "Popeye" grabs a civilian's  1971 Pontiac LeMans and drives through the streets of New York City in hot pursuit of his target.  NYC is a pretty crowded city, so imagine ignoring all rules of the road to film this car chase...

In The French Connection, a 1971 Pontiac LeMans ripped through the rough streets of Brooklyn, NY in hot pursuit of the bad guy

Quantum of Solace

No one drives fast cars like James Bond, so of course he had to be included somewhere on the list.  One of the best car sequences is in the Quantum of Solace movie.  In the movie James Bond navigates the windy roads near Lake Garda Italy in his Aston Martin while being chased by two Alfa Romeos.  In the end, the two Romeos are completely destroyed and James Bond's Aston Martin makes it out a little dusty...but with no major damage.



                

Car chases bring some of the most exciting action to action films.  So what did you think of our top five picks?

How James Bond Makes Driving Classic Cars Look Good: International Classic & Luxury Car Shipping

For all classic car experts, no single person on earth embodies what every classic car owner secretly desires to be than Bond...James Bond.   In honor of the release of the new James Bond movie, "Skyfall" we look back on some of the best cars featured in James Bond movies.  All of these cars are also some of the most popular classic cars shipped overseas from the United States.

ASTON MARTIN DB5 - Featured in Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Skyfall

The one thing that is consistent about James Bond is that he always looks good. And he never looked better than when he was driving a Aston Martin DB5.  The name James Bond is almost synonymous with Aston Martin.  As experts in international car shipping, we love to ship Aston Martin's to our lucky clients overseas from the United States.

Sean Connery rode this classic 1964 Aston Martin DB5 in "Goldfinger"

In the latest James Bond installment, "Skyfall", Daniel Craig brings back the classic 1964 Aston Martin DB5...and then blows it up.

LOTUS ESPIRIT S1  - Featured in "The Spy Who Loved me" and "For Your Eyes Only"

Ever been in a submarine?  How about a car that turns into a submarine? Of course James Bond would never be caught in the ocean without a fancy ride, and in  The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond drove a Lotus Espirit S1 straight into the water.  Forget purchasing a submarine, nothing is better than buying and shipping a Lotus overseas from the USA.  But don't try and be like Bond... we'll handle the ocean transportation....


Only in a Bond movie could a Lotus Espirit turn into a submarine...

FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 - Featured in Diamonds Are Forever

One of the best car chases in the Bond franchise is in Diamonds Are Forever when Bond drives Tiffany Case's supped up Ford Mustang Mach 1.  The Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic and coveted American cars.  It should come as no surprise that Ford Mustangs are one of the most popular cars shipped overseas from the US.

Only James Bond could get a car to drive on two wheels and fit through a narrow alley

BMW Z8 - Featured in The World is Not Enough

In The World is Not Enough James Bond drove through Azerbaijan in a sporty BMW Z8. Aston Martin was put to the side in a few installments as BMW made a bid to be featured prominently in the franchise. The car was classic James Bond...sporty, fast and flashy, but like most cars featured in the Bond movies, it met its untimely death when it was slashed in half by a helicopter.

The BMW Z8 was featured in "The World is Not Enough"




ASTON MARTIN DBS - Featured in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace

James Bond always introduces the next top sports car before it hits the market, and this was the case for the Aston Martin DBS.  The Aston Martin made its return to the Bond franchise and made sure to reenter the franchise in true fashion.  In the chase scene featured in Casino Royale the car barrel rolled a record setting 7 times.


Aston Martin made its return to the Bond franchise in "Casino Royale"

ROLLS ROYCE SILVER CLOUD - Featured in A View to a Kill

A Rolls Royce is the true definition of  luxury when it comes to classic cars. The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was featured in 1985's A View to a Kill.  James Bond fans were left at the edge of their seat when Bond was left unconscious in the car and left for dead in a lake.  But James Bond is too smart for that...after sucking on the air from the tires Bond escapes without a scratch.


Bad guys can try, but they can't take down Bond, not even if they try to kill him in a Rolls Royce

  • A carnet cannot be used for consumable or disposable items or for any type of product or goods that are being sold abroad
  • While the carnet allows for goods to enter duty and tax free, the cost of the carnet is calculated on the value of your goods. Check the duty rates for your cargo in the countries it is entering.  You might be surprised to discover your particular good is duty free or has a very low duty rate.  In this case, it might be cheaper to import your good under normal circumstances vs paying for a carnet 
If you are unsure whether a carnet is the best option for your international shipping needs, contact us today at 212-267-6400, on skype at kinternationalny or send an email to sales@kinternational.com

What is the Safest Way to Ship My Car? How to Ship A Car Overseas from the USA

There are two very popular questions we always receive from customers who are shipping a car overseas for the first time:

  • Question #1: What is the difference between roll-on / roll-off (ro/ro) international car shipping and container shipping? What is the least expensive way to ship my car?
  • Question #2: What is the safest way to ship my car?
The above questions are easy to answer, and as one of the best international car shipping companies in the United States, you can trust that we will provide you with the safest and most affordable international car shipping service.  We want to make sure that all of our fist-time customers have a general understanding of how overseas car shipping from the United States works.

Considering driving your car across the ocean to its new home overseas?  Trust us...there are safer ways to ship your car overseas from the United States!  Below we clear up some questions, and "clear the way" for you to ship your car from the USA with K International!


What is the difference between roll-on / roll-off (ro/ro) international car shipping and container shipping? What is the least expensive way to ship my car?

Roll-On / Roll-Off shipping vessels are specially designed for all rolling cargo.  Cars and other wheeled cargo are simply driven onto the vessel and secured inside.  Because roll-on / roll-off shipping requires minimal handling and you do not have to "rent" a container to put it into, it is usually the least expensive way to ship a car overseas.

The second option for international car shipping is in a container.  The car is loaded inside a 20' or if it is more than 1 car, a 40' container, and it stays inside this container while it is being shipped.  Normally, cars with a high value are shipped inside a container to protect the car from being handled too many times in order to lesson the chance of damage.  Also, customers shipping 2-3 cars at a time can save money loading their cars inside one container.  A third reason for using a container is for customers who need to ship other personal items with their car including furniture, household goods, and clothing.  When shipping a car on a ro/ro vessel you cannot keep any personal items inside the car.  Because the car has to be professionally loaded into the container, the cost to ship a car overseas in a container is normally more expensive than ro/ro.

What is the safest way to ship my car? 

People normally feel that container shipping is safer because no one will handle the car except the warehouse.  But in general, both methods of overseas car shipping from the United States are safe.  The car is well protected inside a ro/ro vessel and it is not exposed to the elements.  The inside of a ro/ro vessel is clean, and it is even air-conditioned!  Your car will travel across the ocean in style and comfort!

Whether you are looking to ship your car overseas on a ro/ro ship or in a container, you have plenty of safe and affordable international car shipping options.  For more information on our international car transport services from the United States, give us a call at 212-267-6400 or on Skype at kinternationalny.  To receive international car shipping quotes from the United States, send us an email at sales@kinternational.com.  We will respond to all car shipping rate requests within 1-2 business days.
