Рет қаралды 26,873
Күн бұрынWhether you're stuck in Australia, you want to drive the Pan-American Highway or bring your own vehicle to Africa, shipping your vehicle between continents is a must!
In this video I got into all the details for the different options, the pros and cons of each and most importantly the COST!

I’ve been researching the container route.....my rig is too wide, and too tall, so my other option is building it completely lockable, since I’m building it from scratch, it wouldn’t be too difficult to design locking access panels and control limiters.....designing is my passion and God gives me awesome ideas, such as a roll down dash shield.....difficult to drive a vehicle without gauges, lights or acccessories

That is extremely hard to do. You have to fully "import" the vehicle, which means paying taxes, import duties, crash safety, emissions, etc. etc. For some countries it's going to be impossible, for some it's just going to be really expensive. It's different for every country in the world, and it's not something I'm ever going to do due to the cost!

Found one with a length of 19'2'' including rear bumper that would technically just fit if the interior length of the container is 19'4''. My question based on your experiences Dan would be do I necessarily want an overland vehicle in your opinion that long? For the Latin Americas and beyond. It's turning radius is pretty awful.

Your Mustang GT can be both temporarily and permanently imported to the UK, but if you're permanently importing a vehicle under 10 years old, you will need to pass an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) test and a few other taxes including sales tax at 20%. If it's over 10 years old, whilst you still have to pay some taxes, you only need to have a road-worthiness test, known as a MOT, which is a lot cheaper and easier to pass (not required for temporary importation).

But I also don't want to drive around with whole house with me. I have many times bogged in large trucks and it is all fun until you have to dig out few cupid yards of dirt to get on with your trip. Only to get bogged again 15 minutes later. I also learned that many parks don't allow the biggest trucks. I have come to realize that it is quite tricky balance of fuel and water range, off road abilities, gravel road comfort. And good cooking and good night sleep. No fun driving around in monster truck, but eat canned food and sleep on bunk bed. Nor to be fun to not be able to go 30% of the places you want to go because of bad vehicle.

I'm from Australia, and no-one I've called has any interest in insuring a vehicle if it leaves Australia. European/UK insurers will not insure a non EU registered vehicle. So, do you just take a chance and hope not to have it stolen or in an accident? Thanks - David

V. good information which is correct from my experience. A couple of comments: 1. Options for RORO are much reduced since these ships generally only serve major routes (whereas containers go pretty much anywhere). Also most RORO operators insist that the vehicles travel empty, i.e. without personal effects, which is a real pain. 2. 10% sounds very high for insurance of container contents. On a recent trip I paid 4% and other companies were charging down to 2.5%. 3. The security bolt is only added at the time of loading if there isn't going to be subsequent customs inspection before the container is loaded, however the security risk during this window is still much lower than RORO.

The police in North America will not be a problem. We don't have the corruption that some developing countries have. You might get the occasional cop and sees a European license plate and decides to pull you over and investigate but they're not going to seize your or arrest you. If you want to drive from the east coast to the west coast you can do it in about 4 days but that is pretty much driving as far as you can. You'll have another couple of days to get to Alaska.

I forgot to mention a few things about America that will be off to you. Most places have a sales tax which is added on top of the purchase price. So when are you seeing something marked $10 it's going to be $10 plus the sales tax. Also Americans are very approachable they will say hello and start a conversation with a complete stranger. Your soda at a restaurant you get free refills you don't pay for each one. And also we have a tipping culture. it's customary to tip your waiters and waitresses at a restaurant. The normal standard would be 15 to 20% of the pre-tax total for bill. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken languagebut don't expect most people to speak anything other than English. and don't be surprised if you see somebody who's not dressed up as a police officer who has a handgun on their hip. That's especially common in a place like Alaska.

It seems like a good idea at first, but the last time I shipped my vehicle by military airlift, they made me stay there longer than I wanted and the locals kept trying to blow me up.

No no no..... You've got it all wrong. You first need to build a space shuttle and mission control centre. It's all about camping with like minded people who've also spent the mega-rubles on custom fit-outs and holding hands having a love-in and obtaining that confirmation bias your brain so desperately needs. If you haven't spent 200k on building your car then you need to increase your credit limit some more and truly build that edifice and mobile monument to your self. After all, what you're really looking for is justification praise for knowingly enslaving your economic future to a bank.
