Freight Car Europe is a transport broker that connects customers with certified carrier partners to move cars, vans, campers, boats, and goods across Europe. The brand focuses on clear quotes, realistic delivery windows, and practical support from booking to delivery.
The core value is that customers should feel in control. Freight Car Europe aims to make transport across Europe predictable, with quotes that match reality, clear terms, and delivery windows customers can plan around.
Support is human-led: if routes or timings change, the support team communicates quickly and helps solve issues. Reliability is strengthened by long-term relationships with certified carrier partners and shared capacity on trucks to keep pricing competitive.
Freight Car Europe carries and delivers cars, vans, goods (including ADR where compliant), boats, and campers throughout Europe. Customers can request a quote from the homepage form by selecting what they need to transport and entering pickup and delivery details. The service is designed to reduce hassle and avoid unnecessary driving, mileage, and fatigue.
The service is for both private customers and businesses needing either cross-border transport across Europe or transportation within a european country: relocations, online purchases and sales, fleet moves, seasonal moves, repairs, and freight shipments that require professional handling.
Tracking is handled through the support team with human updates. Customers can request status updates and receive delivery confirmation documents such as POD/CMR or Bill of Loading when applicable.
Shipping within Europe is typically done by road using auto carriers that move multiple vehicles on shared trailers. It is often simpler within the EU because customs usually do not apply. Start by requesting a quote with vehicle type and pickup/delivery details, book ahead when possible, prepare the vehicle, and inspect at pickup and delivery.
Request a quote on the Freight Car Europe website's home page by entering what you need to transport, pickup and delivery locations, and your preferred dates. For vehicles, add make/model/year, size/weight, and whether it runs or needs winching.
Enclosed transport usually costs more than open transport because it offers extra protection and often carries fewer vehicles per trip. Open transport is typically the most common and affordable option; enclosed is preferred for luxury, classic, or high-value cars.
Yes, Freight Car Europe can arrange ADR-compliant transport when the shipment is properly classified and packaged, and when certified carrier capacity is available on the route. You must provide the UN number, classification, SDS/MSDS, quantities, packaging type, addresses, and dates. Not accepted: unidentified substances or poorly packaged items.
Tracking is provided via Freight Car Europe’s support team with human updates. Customers can request dispatch updates and route status, receive pickup confirmation, ETA updates, a pre-delivery heads-up, and delivery confirmation with signed POD/CMR or Bill of Loading when applicable.
Carrier partners typically operate with cargo insurance that may cover incidents during transit and loading/unloading, but limits and exclusions vary. Customers should request the certificate of insurance before booking and declare high value or special requirements. Items left on board are often excluded unless declared, though it's recommended to not leave any.
Yes, Freight Car Europe arranges cross-border motorhome transport across Europe. Requirements depend on the route, dimensions, weight, and whether the motorhome is drivable. For non-EU routes, additional customs paperwork or VAT may apply; Freight Car Europe explains the process clearly.
Costs vary widely based on route, season, dimensions, weight, and loading constraints. Smaller campervans on common routes may fall in the high hundreds to low thousands of euros, while longer cross-Europe moves or large/high-roof motorhomes can be higher, especially if access is tricky or special handling is needed.
