Indicative price versus confirmed quote
Published rates are market indicators. Actual cost changes with vehicle dimensions, origin port, destination port, carrier, available space, fuel surcharge and inspection scope.
Questions to ask when comparing quotes
If two quotes cover different work, the lowest total is not a meaningful comparison. Use the same vehicle assumptions and ask for inclusions, exclusions and validity.
- Which currency and conversion basis apply?
- Is Japan inland transport included?
- Are inspection, documentation and port fees included?
- Are there non-running, oversize or EV conditions?
- When does the quote expire and what can change it?
FAQ
Can I book at the published example price?
No. Published prices are indicative; a current quote follows vehicle and space confirmation.
What does a plus sign after a price mean?
It marks a starting price. The final amount may be higher for the vehicle or route conditions.
