Collection Network

Pickup Across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany

We collect throughout the Netherlands — from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Groningen and Maastricht. Pickups in Belgium and Germany work no differently: the vehicle or cargo gets collected where it is and driven back across the border to the same Dutch terminal, under a single booking. France is covered on request as well.

  • Every province of the Netherlands covered
  • Belgium & Germany pickups in the same booking, France on request
  • Dealer lots, auction houses, warehouses & private addresses
  • One team from first message to departure
Collection by Source

How Collection Differs by Source

AUCTION PURCHASEUsually can’t leave without a release note or gate pass — we arrange the pickup date together with the auction house to avoid storage days.
\n
DEALERSHIPGenerally quicker — agree a time, and the vehicle or cargo and its documents are ready when our driver arrives.
\n
PRIVATE SALE / BUSINESSWorks on its own schedule — tell us when the vehicle or cargo can be reached, and collection is arranged around that.
Cargo Types

What We Ship to the destination country

Car shipping from the Netherlands to the destination remains the most common request, but what actually ships here covers considerably more ground. Whatever’s travelling, the first step is always the same — tell us where it is, describe it, and confirm the destination.

Export Documents

Paperwork to Arrange Before Export

Getting a shipment out of the Netherlands cleanly comes down to a short list of paperwork ready early. Once it’s with us, the EXA Export Declaration gets filed and anything further customs asks for gets handled on this end.

⚠ Check this early: make, model and VIN need to appear identically on every document. It’s easy to overlook — and one of the more common reasons a shipment gets held up at the terminal.
\nDOCUMENT CHECKLIST\n

Shipping Methods

Deciding Between RoRo and Container Shipping

VEHICLES BY AIR

RoRo Shipping to the destination

Built around anything that can move under its own power — driven onto the vessel at the European port, then driven straight back off at the Port of the destination. No container, no lifting gear.

CARGO BY AIR

Container Shipping to the destination

The sensible choice once a shipment grows beyond a single roadworthy car — extra vehicles, or cargo that can’t be driven, both point this way.

Not sure which one suits your shipment? Describe what’s travelling and we’ll compare RoRo against a container for your specific vehicle, cargo and timeline.

High-Value Cargo

Container Shipping as a Core Service

Container shipping from the Netherlands to the destination is a core service in its own right — not something we only offer when a vehicle shipment happens to be too big for RoRo. the destination handles a substantial volume of containerised cargo, and a good share of our bookings are a 20ft or 40ft container travelling on its own: household goods, business inventory, spare parts or commercial cargo, with or without a vehicle inside.

Container shipping from Belgium or Germany follows an identical path to a Dutch booking — collected close to where the cargo actually is, then transported to the same export terminal for loading.

Pallet Shipping, Machinery Parts and Urgent Cargo

Air freight is not just for vehicles — it is just as valuable for pallets, boxes, spare parts, machine parts, tools, medical equipment, electronics, samples, commercial cargo and any shipment that is simply too urgent to wait.

Whenever sea freight would take too long, or cargo is needed at the destination fast, air freight steps in as the practical alternative.

We can arrange air freight for:

  • Pallets
  • Boxes
  • Crates
  • Spare parts
  • Machinery parts
  • Tools
  • Workshop equipment
  • Electronics
  • Exhibition goods
  • Commercial cargo
  • Documents and samples
  • High-value cargo
  • Time-critical shipments
  • Small machinery
  • Factory parts
  • Automotive parts

Machinery and industrial cargo gets special attention: we check the dimensions, weight, packing method and destination airport, and arrange extra handling whenever the cargo is large, heavy or sensitive.

Timing is everything with urgent shipments, so we look closely at pickup possibilities, airport handling, available airline space and the fastest realistic route.

All we need from you is the pickup address, a description of the cargo, dimensions, weight, photos and the destination — we check the air freight options and arrange the export process from there.

What Affects the Price

None of this is fixed enough for a published price list to mean much. We put a figure together once we know where it’s coming from, what exactly it is, and where it’s headed.

Air Freight to the Middle East and Worldwide Destinations

Worldwide coverage is standard with our air freight network, and the Middle East stands out as one of our busiest regions — customers there consistently want fast delivery combined with professional, careful handling, whether it concerns a luxury car or a pallet of spare parts.

Destinations we ship to most often include:

  • Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
  • Doha, Qatar
  • Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
  • Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
  • Dammam, Saudi Arabia
  • Kuwait City, Kuwait
  • Muscat, Oman
  • Manama, Bahrain
  • Amman, Jordan
  • Beirut, Lebanon
  • Cairo, Egypt
  • Istanbul, Turkey
  • Baghdad, Iraq
  • Erbil, Iraq

Beyond the Middle East, we also arrange air freight to Africa, Asia, North America, South America and virtually anywhere else in the world.

Middle East shipments typically involve luxury cars, urgent spare parts, machinery parts, tools, commercial cargo, exhibition goods, time-sensitive cargo and other special shipments that simply cannot wait for a boat.

Every shipment begins in the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany, and pickup can be arranged from almost anywhere — a private address, dealership, warehouse, factory, workshop, company location, storage facility or even directly from an airport cargo terminal.

You do not need to know which airline or airport suits your shipment best; that is our job. We assess the cargo, route, urgency and destination, then put together the best available air freight solution.

Stay on Schedule

Delays We Help You Avoid

A handful of recurring issues account for most of the hold-ups we see. Spot them early and the shipment keeps moving on schedule instead of stalling at the terminal.

HOLD·01

A contact number that changes after the booking is already confirmed.

HOLD·02

Paperwork describing a different vehicle, model or VIN than what’s actually collected.

HOLD·03

Nobody around to hand over the vehicle or cargo on the day it’s due.

HOLD·04

Someone other than the owner exporting without proof they’re allowed to.

HOLD·05

A booking confirmed so close to departure that there’s no room left to fix a paperwork issue.
