Shipping & Transport

Unless it is specifically mentioned in the item description that shipping is included, it is assumed that the buyer will pick up the vehicle, or will have the vehicle picked up. This also means that the buyer will have to pay any shipping costs.

If the buyer wants to transport the vehicle across the border, it’s important to note that the buyer should check with the government agency before arranging the trip so that specific regulations and requirements are taken into account (e.g. insurance, temporary plates, etc). You may also need to check this with your local authorities.

We strongly advise against a buyer picking up the classic vehicle and immediately driving it long distances without first having it checked by a local dealer.

A number of transport options are available:

• Transport carrier: usually is the less expensive choice but also the slowest 
• Tow truck: usually used for short distance transport. Fast delivery, higher prices
• Covered vehicle transport: Very expensive, usually only used for exceptionally old or valuable vehicles 
• Trailer: the buyer can attach the vehicle to their own car, if they have the authorization and insurance issued by their country

If the vehicle was damaged during transport, the buyer needs to open a claim with the transport company, providing proof of the claim. It’s generally the responsibility of those who arranged transport to open the claim. As a seller, you can help by providing all the information about the time of pickup. This is why we strongly recommend documenting the entire pickup process.
