Wondering how to ship your van from the USA to Europe? We’ve done it — and here’s everything you need to know.
In this episode, we walk you through the exact steps we took to ship Orbita, our custom-built Sprinter van, from the East Coast of the U.S. to the UK — and start the next chapter of our Round-the-World Expedition across Europe.
In this episode:
– How to prepare your van for international shipping
– Which ports to choose and how much it really costs
