Car transport Europe ↔ Turkey by truck
We collect your car at your address in Europe and deliver it to your address in Turkey on an international car carrier truck. No driving, insured, door to door. Car transport between Europe and Turkey is our specialty, in both directions.
How road transport works
Your car is collected at your address on the agreed date and its condition is recorded in a pickup protocol. It is then loaded and secured on a car carrier. The truck follows the European motorway corridor and enters Turkey at the Kapıkule crossing.
In Turkey the car is delivered to your address in any city and checked against the pickup protocol. On a standard trip your car shares the truck with other vehicles (a shared or consolidated load), which is why it costs less than express. You receive location updates on WhatsApp throughout the journey.
The same route runs the other way: we bring your car from Turkey back to your address in any European city, usually in 6–8 business days. → Car transport Turkey to Europe
