Shipping a car to Florida USA
My son is working in Afghanistan as a paramedic and the Fire Chief there wants to buy a VW Beetle in SA and have it shipped to Florida USA . Can you give me names of shippers that any members have used to do this .

For what it is worth, I think this guy could be worth looking at, or contacting.
These guys usually know their stuff, and will do all the necessary paperwork etc.

I have used Britannia to ship a car to the USA and the UK in the past.
They are in Killarney Gardens. Very good service from them.

That I strongly doubt since there are quite a few JDM Honda Civics and Nissan Skylines registered and running around here in the USA. If memory holds me correctly; RHD was a non issue on any vehicle till at least 1999 provided it otherwise met our safety and emissions standards based on the YOM. Since Japan and Europe now follow essentially our smog rules from new, those stumbling blocks don't exist.Maverick wrote:He'll have huge issues there because of right hand drive?
Too; one can order NEW a Jeep Wrangler, USA specs and all in RHD format.

Re: Shipping a car to Florida USA
He's correct. There are no laws in any of the US States that prohibit RHD vehicles from being licensed and driven on US roads. You don't even need a sign/placard on the vehicle stating that it is RHD.Bearhawke wrote:That I strongly doubt since there are quite a few JDM Honda Civics and Nissan Skylines registered and running around here in the USA.

The only thing that needs to be changed are the headlights, because the beam patterns for left hand drive are different...Jason wrote:He's correct.
