Calculating Charges for a Budapest Move
Calculating cost for a move to Budapest is important to do ahead of the haul. On average, an overseas move can cost anywhere from $1500 to more than $10,000 depending on the services you use during the haul, the cost of shipping everything, air fare, housing, transportation and more.
International moving company charges are based on weight and volume of the goods shipping, the distance of the move, and even the time of year the haul happens. Packing fees can add charges to the move, but it is often easier to have the haulers pack everything and get it loaded as it can save time. Moving cost will also vary depending on where you need your shipment delivered, and which moving services you need during the move.
Car shipping is a vital way to have reliable transportation in Budapest. While the city does have public transit, it is easier to get around without the stress of busy buses or taxi cabs, and it also helps when you are trying to travel outside of transit hours. To ship a car from the U.S. to Budapest you must have some important documentation. This includes:
- U.S. Driver’s License
- Title to Vehicle
- Registration to Car (Original)
- Liability Insurance Proof
- Purchase Invoice
- U.S. Passport or Work Permit
- Bank Guarantee
To import a vehicle to Budapest, it must be manufactured within the last four years. If the car is older, it will have to pass emission test and may need to have modifications to pass the specs for driving in Budapest.
Delivery options-Door-to-door or port-to-port will also figure into the cost of the move. Port shipments are less expensive than door-to-door, but it is convenient to have everything delivered right to your door.
