hummermark Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Hi the company that I work for came back with (hope you are sitting down) £12300 +vat! It is 4000 mile round trip on taco would be 5 days each way fuel is about 500 gallons. Hopefully you can get a better price I would start with back loads if you can be more flexible with drop of dates and pick dates.

Tony B Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Might not contanrised sea shipping work out cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 you could drive them there ! (not as daft as it sounds) if you get the ferry from portsmouth to bilboa then drive 250 miles to barcelona and get the ferry to civitavecchia then another 250 mile or so to salerno. if you wanted to do it cheaply then hire a 16ft trailer for the 2 jeeps and tow it behind the humber that way you only pay for 1 vehicle and you'll only need 1 driver. whatever you decide it sounds like you'll have a great time in italy once you're there. all the best rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobin Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Chaps, Thanks for that. The orignal plan was to truck them down and drive back but the costs seem to vary dramatically. Time is our enemy as we have a fortnight for the whole trip. I will look at the ferries though. Many thanks Tobin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You immidiatley become frieight and the cost can bring tears to your eyes! The cheapest may be ship unaccompanied then pick up at port.

fordf30 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Tobin, you can get motorail from holland to Turin I think, and jeeps will fit on there but you may need to look at size for the Humber. All the best, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help? Best regards Tobin Hi Tobin, i recently priced up a 40ft container with 3 vehicles inside to go to Palermo Sicily, our plan was then to drive back to UK. The price for a container from UK to Sicily was about £1500 inc VAT but excluding local handling fees in Sicily. the company was VM Liner, they were very helpful. I also had quotes from Seakargo for RORO vessels from UK to Southern Italy, that worked out at about £600 per vehicle. Hope that helps Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
