Important

Before you buy a vehicle in the USA

Contact us before you bid or finalize a purchase. We can review the available shipping options, provide a cost estimate, and explain what the process typically involves on the destination side.

  1. 01

    Title or ownership document

    Is the title clean, salvage, or rebuilt? Title type affects exportability from the USA and Hungarian import requirements.

  2. 02

    Vehicle location in the USA

    The auction yard state, city, or seller address affects inland transport options and departure port.

  3. 03

    Running or non-running condition

    Non-running vehicles require special pickup arrangements. Confirm before bidding so we can review feasibility.

  4. 04

    Damage photos and condition report

    For auction vehicles, review all available photos including undercarriage, frame, and damage areas before purchase.

  5. 05

    Storage fees at the yard

    Auction yards charge daily storage after purchase. Contact us quickly after winning a bid to coordinate collection.

  6. 06

    Expected import and destination costs

    Customs duties, VAT, port fees, and local delivery are separate from shipping. Ask us before buying: we coordinate with the destination-side customs broker, while the customs authority determines the final charges.

The right method depends on vehicle type, condition, destination, and partner availability.

Auction, damaged, and non-running vehicles

A significant portion of vehicles shipped to Hungary are purchased from US auction platforms. Contact us before bidding so we can review the logistics for your specific vehicle.

Auction vehicle sources

Customers often contact us before bidding or purchasing from Copart, IAAI, Manheim, or private sellers so pickup and shipping options can be reviewed. We do not bid on vehicles for customers or take responsibility for purchase decisions.

Auction yards charge daily storage after purchase. Contact us quickly after winning a bid so we can coordinate collection timing.

Damaged and non-running vehicles

Damaged, salvage, and non-running vehicles may be possible to ship but require case-by-case review. Special pickup equipment may be needed depending on the vehicle condition and location.

Before you finalize the purchase, send us the vehicle condition, location, and whether it runs so we can confirm what is feasible.

Commonly required documents

Requirements vary by vehicle type, US state, title type, and destination. We explain what applies to your specific vehicle when we provide a quote.
