If you are going for automobile shipping company then the very first question which arise here is "What is the cost?" You will get the sure answer only after if the company is aware of the destination like where you want them to pick it up and drop it off. A proper consideration should be there if you have a specified date of delivery and want the automobile shipped. All of these things will count for the automobile shipping costs. The delivering cost will be less. The destination of the automobile is the most important factor; the price for automobile shipping will totally depend upon it. If it is door to door then it will cost much.

The quotes from several companies should be collected if you want to have a right price. The companies will not charge at all for receiving the quotes. You need to be smarter to ask for the total cost to avoid having any hidden fees charged to the bill that you were not aware of. Some companies may require a deposit, while others require full payment up front. None of the companies will allow you to pay the total bill when the automobile is delivered

Shipping Household / Shipping Personal Goods

You pack all small items well in any good, clean boxes and wrap big items or furniture in moving blankets or plastic. If you have everything packed and ready to go when the container is delivered to your door, and if you and 3 to 5 friends help you load and secure your goods within the container, it shouldn't take you more than 2 or 4 hours at the most to finish loading and securing your goods in the container. You can buy rope and use the hooks inside the container to secure your goods from moving and shifting during the voyage. Or you can hire GEE SHIPPING to load and secure your goods in the container for you. Hiring GEE SHIPPING to load and secure your goods in a 20' container will probably cost you around £300.00, and for a 40' container around £500.00 (*PLEASE NOTE* this is not the cost for shipping the container). Also, don't forget to make a packing list of what will be shipped in the container.

Shipping Household / Shipping Personal Goods with a Vehicle

You pack all small items well in any good, clean boxes and wrap big items or furniture in moving blankets or plastic. You will need a 40' container for shipping a vehicle, furniture, and boxes of household/personal goods. A 20' container is applicable when you want to ship a vehicle and some boxes of household/personal goods. Depending on the size of your vehicle, whatever you can fit, including furniture, in the container is okay, but space will be limited in a 20' container. You can also pack belongings in the vehicle itself and the trunk of the vehicle.

There are 3 possible methods when shipping household / shipping personal goods with a vehicle

1.   If applicable, a 20' or 40' container is delivered to your door, either live load container shipping or drop off shipping method, where you load and secure everything, including the vehicle, inside the container. The container stands about 4' (feet) above the ground on a chassis. So, you will need to hire a flat bed towing truck to bring the vehicle on a level with the container, push the vehicle inside the container, block the tires of the vehicle, and lastly strap the vehicle down in the container so it will not move around. Of course, there can be no gas in the vehicle. The gas level has to be less than 1/8 a tank of gas and the battery must be disconnected. When you are finished, the container will be returned to the shipping terminal .

2.   If applicable, a 40' container (20' container not applicable) is delivered to your door, either live load container shipping or drop off shipping method, where you load and secure your furniture and boxes of household/personal goods within the container, leaving room for your vehicle (bumper to bumper), plus a couple of extra feet. Once that is finished, the container will be picked up and brought to the closest receiving warehouse to you. You will also deliver your vehicle to this receiving warehouse. We will then load and secure your vehicle into the container with your household/personal goods - previously loaded by you, and deliver the container to the shipping terminal. Also, the gas level has to be less than 1/8 a tank of gas.

We offer you the choice of container shipping, which will give you the security of having your vehicle travel inside a sealed, metal container if you prefer a more individualized way to ship your vehicle. Inside a locked container, your vehicle will stay which will only be opened once it has reached the destination country. You can opt to cover your car with full Marine Insurance to ensure total protection and peace of mind in shipping automobile.
