Shipping Your Car Very Far

Becoming an expat can be a wonderful and enlightening experience, but there are also some more mundane practicalities to consider too. There is an avalanche of paperwork to fill out, many long hours to spend in various government buildings and then there is the tricky problem of what to do with your "stuff".

Some things are obviously easy to take along with you, such as clothes, books, etc., but other items are more tricky. You have to make the decision of whether to put them in storage, sell them on or find a way of transporting them to your new home.  Take your car as an example. Obviously there isn't really an option to place it in storage, so you either have to sell it on to somebody and then go to the expense and hassle of buying a new vehicle in a new country, or you can arrange to get it shipped over instead.
