Europe-Wide Car Transportation
Single Car Transportation (Open/Closed)
If you need to transport a single vehicle from one location to another, we offer flexible options, including open and closed trailer transport across Europe. Individual transport is ideal when time is of the essence or when your vehicle requires special handling. Whether it’s a non-roadworthy vehicle that we can load with a cable winch, or a delivery to a remote location that isn’t covered by regular routes, we’ve got you covered. We’re happy to provide a customized quote for your specific needs. In some cases, and based on availability, we may also arrange transport with a nearby groupage truck, unless otherwise requested.
For high-value vehicles that require full protection from the elements, our closed car transport service offers added peace of mind. Submit your request here to explore options tailored to your requirements.
Group Car Transportation
If your vehicle is in working order and doesn’t need to reach its destination urgently, our collective transport option is an economical solution. By combining your vehicle with others headed to the same region, we can offer flexible transport within a few weeks at a significantly lower cost than individual transport. With Europe-wide groupage options, we efficiently share the journey, helping you save on transport expenses.
If you’re interested about our flexible and cost – effective collective car service, please contact us by phone or send us an e-mail request.

International Car Transportation
If you’re looking to ship a vehicle from Europe to Asia, we provide flexible transport options to major ports, such as Hamburg, via individual or groupage services. From there, your vehicle can be shipped to its destination port either in a dedicated container or alongside another vehicle within a shared container. Alternatively, the Ro-Ro method offers a streamlined option where your vehicle is driven directly onto the ship by port staff, transporting it ‘unpacked’ without the need for a container. Our team will help you choose the best approach based on your needs and budget.
Ro – Ro Transport Overseas
With Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) transport, the vehicle is shipped without a container by being driven directly onto the vessel, where it remains ‘unpacked’ for the journey. This means it’s not fully protected from external conditions, so we generally do not recommend Ro-Ro transport for high-value vehicles such as classic, new, or luxury cars. However, the advantage of Ro-Ro is its significantly lower cost compared to container transport, making it a more practical option for older vehicles, especially those headed to destinations like Africa.
We’re happy to provide you with a tailored quote for Ro-Ro transport to nearly any port worldwide, including in Africa, America, Asia, and Oceania.
Container Vehicle Transportation Overseas
Transporting vehicles in containers offers the clear advantage of protecting them from external elements, reducing the risk of damage during transit. However, container transport typically comes at a higher cost than Ro-Ro, as it involves specialized handling, including crane loading and unloading. Upon request, we can arrange container transport to virtually any port worldwide. Contact us for a customized quote on vehicle shipping and container transport solutions.
Vehicle Transport Insurance
Insurance Options at PUREPROGRESS
We are pleased to offer you two types of insurance to protect your vehicle during transport. Below are the details of each option:
1. Standard Vehicle Insurance
The standard insurance, commonly provided by freight forwarders, covers a value of up to €10 per kilogram. This insurance applies in cases where the driver is deemed responsible for the damage or in the event of an accident. However, it primarily covers basic risks associated with transport accidents. Please note that in cases of theft or loss, obtaining full coverage under standard insurance can be more challenging.
2. Additional Vehicle Insurance
For comprehensive vehicle protection, our additional insurance offers extended coverage beyond the standard policy. It includes:
- Theft and loss of the vehicle.
- Damage caused by natural events (e.g., storms or floods).
- Damage resulting from accidents.
- Damage due to insufficient packaging.
- Loss of goods during transport.
*The cost of additional insurance is 0.3% of the net value of the vehicle, providing exceptional value for comprehensive coverage.
We highly recommend adding this insurance for high-value vehicles, international transport, or shipments requiring extra security. It ensures your vehicle is fully protected from unforeseen risks that are not covered by standard insurance.
FAQs
Up to what value is my vehicle insured?
As a rule, your vehicles are insured with us for approx. 10 EUR / kg (8.33 special drawing rights per kg) without separate insurance in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of Spedlogswiss. This means that if, for example, your vehicle is worth EUR 5000 and weighs 1300 kg, it would be insured for the full vehicle value (as a maximum of EUR 10 x 1300 kg = EUR 13000 can be insured). If, for example, a vehicle weighing 1500 kg had a value of EUR 20,000, it would only be insured up to EUR 15,000 (approx. EUR 10 / kg x 1500 kg = EUR 15,000). In the unlikely event of extreme damage exceeding EUR 15,000 during the transportation of the car, the value exceeding EUR 15,000 would not be insured. For this reason, we recommend that you take out car transport insurance with us, especially for exclusive vehicle transports, classic car transports, sports car transports, transports of new vehicles or expensive used cars. This can be taken out up to the full value of the vehicle. Talk to us about our insurance solutions.
How long does the car transport take?
As a rule, we can carry out the car transport for you within approx. 5-15 working days after order confirmation or receipt of payment. This means that vehicle transportation is usually possible after just a few days. Only if we require additional documents in advance, such as customs documents for international vehicle transportation, can the transit time be delayed. However, if you are flexible in terms of time, you may be interested in our transportation solution in shared car transport. Several vehicles are transported together in the same direction on a car transporter. This allows us to save on transportation costs and pass the cost advantage on to you.
Is express transportation also possible?
Car transportation at short notice is also possible. Depending on availability, we can also carry out transportation within less than five working days. Please note, however, that we will then have to include the higher travel costs to the loading location in our offer to you. The right coordination is particularly important for urgent transports. After all, it’s no use if the vehicle arrives two days later but you can’t take delivery of it that day. Together we will find a solution for your individual desired date.
Can my vehicle be picked up and delivered anywhere?
In principle, we can pick up and deliver your vehicle at any location. Please note, however, that the loading and unloading point must be accessible with a car transporter or at least with a car and trailer. It is best to let us know when you request a quote so that we can take this into account. We also make deliveries to areas of the old town that require a permit or to unloading points with time restrictions. With us, car transportation is possible throughout Europe and worldwide.
Can I set the date for collection and delivery myself?
We will be happy to arrange an individual appointment with you for vehicle delivery or collection. Delivery is also possible at the weekend or in the evening if you wish. Alternatively, we can also park the vehicle for you at
so that you can collect it during our opening hours.
Do you also handle customs clearance for worldwide car transports?
In addition to Europe-wide car transportation, we can also transport your vehicle anywhere in the world. As we have our headquarters in Switzerland, we are familiar with the particularities of customs clearance. We have our own customs declarants and know exactly what the customs offices look for when checking vehicles and the associated documents. We will also be happy to advise you on how you can legally save on customs duties and import sales tax.
How does the collection work?
After our driver arrives at the pick-up address at the agreed time, photos are first taken of the vehicle. This means that it can later be proven exactly whether the damage occurred during transportation or already existed beforehand. The vehicle is then loaded onto the trailer or car transporter after the keys have been handed over. The collection is confirmed in writing in the form of a handover report so that you have proof later that we have collected the vehicle from you. Your vehicle is then transported to its destination.
What type of vehicle can be transported?
We can transport almost any vehicle for you. The most common vehicle transports include car transport, quad bike transport, but motorcycle transport and truck transport are also no problem. Feel free to ask us about exotic transports.
What happens if my vehicle is damaged during transportation?
As your vehicle is insured with us, we will pass the case on to our insurance company, which will then settle the claim in accordance with the insurance conditions. Please also note the point“Up to what vehicle value is my vehicle insured“.
Can a defective car also be transported?
We can also transport a defective car or a vehicle that can only be rolled. We have trailers with a cable winch so that a vehicle with a defective engine can be pulled onto the trailer. Please be sure to include it in the contact form if your car is defective or only partially roadworthy. This is the only way we can organize and schedule the appropriate vehicle trailer.
How do I find out the status of the vehicle transport?
You can call us at any time during opening hours (Monday – Friday 07:00 – 17:30) or send us an e-mail to find out the current status of your vehicle transportation. On request and by arrangement, we can also provide GPS tracking or, in the case of sea and air freight, inform you of the expected arrival date at the destination (air) port.
Can you organize the entire collection for me directly with the sender?
If you wish, we can contact the consignor of the vehicle directly to arrange a possible collection date. In addition, we can also contact the shipper by telephone, e.g. 1 hour before collection.
Is it also possible to transfer vehicles on your own wheels?
Yes, we can also transport your vehicle on our own wheels for you. The prerequisite is that the vehicle is roadworthy and registered for road traffic. Transportation on your own axle is generally cheaper than transportation on a trailer. The disadvantage, however, is that the mileage will be affected accordingly.
Can you also (temporarily) store vehicles?
On request, we can also store your vehicle for a certain period of time before loading or collection by the recipient. Your vehicles are either stored in a monitored area or in an underground garage / parking space.
