Next summer I want to ship my Nissan Xterra and 25-foot trailer to
Europe. Destination not that important, but safety and cost are.
I live in estern Canada and shipping from US is OK.
Any advice?

Not advice, just a question, if you are coming to the UK, where do you
plan to park it?

Call us on 0700-AIRTRANS or +44-(0)870-7777-647
Gatwick, Stansted, Heathrow, Luton

I am sure there is plenty of space..

When I was in Germany (or on the road to NL, cant remember Which
country off top of my head) but I say a 77 Lincoln Continental going
down the road. a HUGE car even by US standards.

I know a lot of people export cars from France to the US.. Especially
if you buy the higher end BMW and Mercedes you can save more than the
cost of the trip since it is classified as a "used car" when it enters
the US.. but don't forget Customs can refuse entry of the car, and
even worse, maybe "cease" the car... I would be sure to get the
paperwork in order, and contact the country's embassy in DC before
doing so.

Ship them in a container, which will protect them from both theft and
damage. You should be able to find a shipping company that will handle the
whole thing for you.

Maybe he just wants to take a vacation and ship it back
afterwards.

true.. but still even if you bring it in, you still have to pass
though customs. They have no clue if its going to REALLY return.

I wouldn't recommend it unless he plans to stay 6+ months.

Vehicles shipped from the US or Canada generally terminate in Southampton,
on the South Coast.

A friend of mine shipped a Winnebago from the East Coast of the USA last
year. It cost around $1000 one way.

Try to avoid having it shipped "open-deck". Sea-spray may cause future
corrosion problems.

Any shipping agent will give you a quote- obtain several, they will vary
wildly.
