Prices for transporting a car from the USA depend on where the auctioned car is located and the distance to the port.
The greater distance from the port is closely related to the higher price for land transport. By choosing vehicles located closer to the destination ports, it gives us the opportunity to save on land transport.
Sometimes, however, it is worth adding and choosing cars from a more distant state, where winters are light and thus rust is rare.

The fee is $ 130-200

 
Port fee:
About 400 EUR.
 
 
Our commission - PLN 2,500 should be added to the above-mentioned costs.
The commission does not depend on the price of the car, as in others, and is always the same. 
Because every customer is equally important to us.
 
Each auction takes place only after signing a contract with us and paying the appropriate deposit. The deposit depends on the amount to which we will bid.
The deposit is a security for us. In the event of non-payment for the vehicle, the auction companies charge a fine of 10% of the auctioned vehicle.
As soon as the customer pays the charges related to the vehicle and auction company's fees, we return the deposit less our commission.
In cases where we do not leave a given auction, we are obliged to return the entire deposit immediately or transfer it to another auction.
