Five star experience! Communications were brilliant throughout the entire transit. I shipped a truck from Utah To Melbourne, Australia and the entire process was seamless. Would recommend Joe at CFR Rinkens. Very professional and reliable service. Would definitely work with Joe and the team again and his agent in Australia again. Recommend to all. Thank you
Ive been using CFR for so many years now and theyve always helped ship classic cars or parts etc to Malaysia without any hassles. But I felt sad to hear my good friend Steve Feeney of LA Branch Office whos been the best pal to assist me for so many years had left the company. However, Im glad the boss Joseph Giranda took the initiative to continue to provide the best service possible. I will still continue to use CFR. Cheers guys.
These guys are professionals; it was clear throughout they do this at scale and have been doing it for a long time. Equally importantly though, they are courteous, honest and straightforward. Excellent service overall.
I am working with CFR since 2008 - they truly care about what you need - My agent is friendly, upbeat and professional. He comes highly recommended and anyone would be lucky to have him as an agent.Happy Shipping :-)
I have shipped (through CFR Rinkens) three cars from US to EU, cars loaded with personal belonging . Throughout the entire process I have been sustained with clarity, direction and an indisputable support regarding all the inquiries I had - and boy, there were many as this was the first time Ive shipped anything by sea.The cars reached Germany without a scratch and without anything missing. Thank you CFR Rinkens, your professionalism allowed me to focus on the right things relying totally on your expertise for shipping my belongings.
Agent was very helpful, and communicated throughout the process of booking, and delivery of the vehicle.
Superbly professional company to deal with. From fast and competitive expert pricing to organising collections and dealing with the freight, I trust CFR Rinkens every time. Joey Giranda is the freight quote master! Thanks...
Very loyal shipping company this is my second time dealing with CFR to ship bike from USA to Bahrain. I am really happy with their service and they are committed to the date of delivery. If i decide in future to purchase any vehicle again i will deal with CFR shipping agency. Thank you guys for your excellent service and keep it up.
Great assistance in getting an engine shipment from US to UK despite the trials of 2020! The CFR Rinkens team made it happen...... very happy with the service and costings, Will use again when funds allow another pan atlantic purchase.
CFR Rinkens were an absolute pleasure to deal with ! Everything was fully explained along the way, I was always made aware of where my bike was during its transport and they were able to answer any questions I had, the whole daunting process was made so much easier by the CFR Rinkens team !
Thank you for doing a really fantastic job of shipping our car to us. From NY to Spain, you made the entire ordeal seamless. We will definitely use your shipping services again. Thank you!
Very helpful and polite. Made first import easy, would use again.
I had no previous experiences in shipping cars and after some search online, I chose CFR Rinkens. They were all professional and delivered a quality service. This is very important to deal with a company that is reliable and trustworthy, since the whole shipping process is not quick, and you need to work with a team that keep supporting the shipping various stages from start to end. I am happy that I chose CFR Rinkens and I thank all the staff and I will continue working with them in future. Thank you CFR Rinkens!
Shipped a Harley Davidson shovel head from New York to England.Very competitive price and excellent support from there team.I have now used CFR to ship 3 motorcycle from USA to the UK.I would highly recommend CFR always next day response to any queries and a fast shipment .Will use again.
The best shipping overseas service... Good communication and quick work, my Buick arrived from New York.. Jersey Port.. on 13 day in UK Felixstowe, in excellent condition!! Lady Ms Maggie is very sweet, make actions quickly and all guys..Good!! Thanks CFR RINKENS!!
The best carshippers I know ...and for everything else as well, a dynamic fun team and always reliable and as a half German one always feels at home ....
My first time there to ship a car it was pleasant everybody was very friendly and helpful!To bring the car in was very easy just drive it up Parker take the paperwork in give you copies done!
There is just one shipping company that gives personal attention, good advice, the best rates and safely and quickly transports your car anywhere in the world: that company is CFR-Rinkens. Having imported over 30 cars from the USA to the Netherlands over the last 18 years I know what I am talking about. Joey Giranda is a great guy and knowing him for 18 years already, it feels like working with a friend. Steve Feeney is my new contact at CFR. He is quick with his answers, transparant in his communication, took great care of my Mustang and even sent me pictures from when the car was loaded on the truck. Really great service.CFR Rinkens is my shipping company. I can just say: make it yours too!
I had great experience with Joseph Giranda and his team... Im waiting for more work together as we have more cars to shipThanks for everything and stay safe now days.We are expending and I sure hope to get many more cars in the near future. We hope to improve even better and to be able to complete car transfer in safe and fast way.Many Thanks Joey
As a collector car dealer, we have clients worldwide. Rinkens has delivered a large number of vehicles over the years for our clients, and every time the car has been delivered safely and on-time to our customers satisfaction. Their service is highly recommended.
EXCELENT SERVICE!!!!many thanks.
Hi anyone who is thinking of shipping your Dream car home to where ever that my beI have used CFR Rinkens 4/5 times and found them to be on the ball and good email communication and getting even better each time I use them and love the New racking system in the containers which helps getting your car here safely have no problem recommending them as they have always got my cars here safely and in good time you wont be disappointed ....Nigel Tunbridge Wells Kent
From quote til final shipment, at any time CFR Rinkens responded quickly, provided professional support for acceptable prices to get my car from US port to Europe. Congratulations to the whole team in this challenging times.
Thanks team for the great service.Our car arrived very quickly without a mark on it and so well packed.I have been using CFR for many years never had any isues. THANKS and good health.Gary New Zealand.
Exceptional customer service by Joseph Giranda! Even when all communications were done thru e-mail, which was convenient for me since I was on the road the whole time, Joey was able to accommodate. The drop off was quick and easy. My only request is to revisit the credit card surcharge. Thanks so much, Team CFR Rinkens!
The best shipping company!These guys are very professional, solid, reliable and very helpful and kind. This is a pleasure to cooperate with CFR Rinkens: Car Transport - even for custom shipping one car like mine :))Whole crew Zielonym Busem is very satisfied with your services. Thank you for all your help.
Great communication with great customer service and delivery
Ive shipped many, many vehicles with CFR Rinkens from 2003 until present and have always been very impressed with the efficiency and friendly service provided... Heres to many more!
Great experience with CFR Rinkens. BUT very bad surprise with Nirotrans (their partner in Belgium). I paid more than the double....
Very well organised and smoothly handled. The receiving agent performance was not so good, but CFR Rinkens did well.
I really had a fantastic experience with CFR. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition. This is a company Id work with again in seconds. Thank you very much!
Very professional and helpful - and my case was VERY difficult. Patient, knowledgeable and we ended up with getting the job done. Pricing was also highly competitive.
Easy transaction with excellent customer service.Will use again when needed.
Very trustworthy and helpful.
Quite easy transaction and shipping. They are clearly professionals, and act as such with zero unpleasing surprises. Being pros, they tend to forget that the customer is not, which can lead to misunderstandings. Small thing, but with an even clearer communication, it would be even better. I will positively use their services again.
Communication was good. Drop off was easy. Instructions were easy to follow. Car showed up to the new port just as I left it. Tracking the the shipment was easy. It was delayed 2 days over the course of the shipment, but that is to be expected. Overall, would recommend.
The pricing was clearly stated, their communication was good. Any questions were answered quickly and effectively. Their UK port agent didn’t let the side down.
We just shipped multiple cars to Europe. I researched different companies before committing and it paid off: Everything went beyond expectations!! Every interaction that I had with CFR Rinkens staff was outstanding. I would use them again in heart beat.
Dropped off my vehicle on 13 February 2020 in Paramount, CA then it was shipped out on 04 March 2020. Arrived in Bremerhaven, Germany on 06 April 2020 with delivery to the Customs Office (Zollamt) in Wiesbaden, Germany. Overall better than I expected with only the following issues:1. My vehicle did not ship out almost 3 weeks after I dropped it off when I was told at drop off that my vehicle would ship out 7-10 days. Maybe it was due to the emerging pandemic but I would have liked it shipped out sooner or told I could drop it off later to make a 04 March ship date.2. I provided an inventory with my shipment that was inaccurately listed on the bill of lading, caused a delay at the customs office to reconcile the discrepancies of my inventory and the bill of lading. If the bill of lading matched the total number of items in my inventory, there would have been no delays.3. Paperwork and information from CA to Germany did not seem to transfer well because of two issues; I was asked by the Germany office to provide provide a detailed inventory of my shipment and they quoted me a different price for delivery fees. I forwarded them a copy of the inventory I submitted in CA and then presented them the delivery fee I was quoted in CA. Thankfully they honored the delivery fee quoted in CA.4. Only two items from my vehicle went missing during this shipment; my navigation micro SD card and a lightning charging cable for my phone. I reported those losses to both the CA and Germany offices to see if they may have been removed and placed elsewhere in my vehicle. I received no response from either offices even after I offered to provide my comments to a survey.These were issues that I can now avoid in the future and could have been avoided if only I knew better. I am overall satisfied with the shipment and am currently using CFR Rinkens for another shipment that will be scheduled this month in June 2020.
It was a delay between the arrival date and releasing the car. In fact it took almost a month before I went to pick my car that I have shipped from Miami. I was utterly surprised about the condition of my car. Clean and in full running engine. I can see that someone was taking probably a daily care. Great job
Thank you for delivering my car in one piece and intact exactly how it was picked up. I appreciate direct driver communication. All items packed in car arrived. Car arrived earlier than the 12 days posted received car in 8 days. My car traveled from CT TO Palm Springs CA. Very friendly drivers.would recommend to s friend or family member. Very professional company.
After having transported our Pontiac from Iowa to Germany door-to-door we are very satisfied. CFR has a very professional service with regular updates and photos and they are very easy to communicate with 24/7. Its a fantastic company to work with, very knowledgeable and highly recommendable. Special thanks to Eike who took care of all our problems and worries. The Pontiac arrived safe and sound at our doorstep. It was fun doing business with them. Monika and Bernie
Amazing! Connie went above and beyond to get our Nissan Pathfinder from Guam to North Carolina. She kept us updated through the process and got our car safely to North Carolina. Anyone that is military I would definitely recommend using them when shipping your second vehicle. They are friendly, professional, reliable and overall an amazing company. I wouldnt have it any other way.

Excellent and efficient service. Constant updates. Highly recommended!
We moved our vehicle from Colorado Springs to Guam....but it didnt start out that way. When we initially called to inquire about the possibility, we werent sure of our timeline, werent positive which city we would ship from and couldnt determine for sure if we (or someone else) would send or receive the vehicle. In spite of the myriad of possibilites, every interaction with CFR Rinkens was helpful and professional. They ( I spoke with the same person/had a point of contact each time) detailed how each possibility would be played out...call after call and email after email, he patiently walked through the process with me. From the pickup to the people who handed our van off on Island...100% fantastic. We couldnt be more pleased. AND... Once the vehicle was in transit, we received updates (by email). This was helpful to know we hadnt been forgotten in the 6-8 week sail time. Additionally, I want to mention that I almost didnt call for a quote because I assumed it would be too expensive to send an oversized vehicle. Not so. We are SO pleased we shipped our vehicle and would do so again with CFR Rinkens.
I used the company to arrange shipping for a 1950s sports car from Ohio to the UK...all arrangements were carried out very professionally, collecting and transporting the vehicle to the port, container shipping and also collection notification in the UK. I was kept updated with the developments at all stages and the paperwork process was straightforward. I can thoroughly recommend CFR Rinkens, a professional and competent company with great staff.
Had a great experience shipping a non-running classic car from the United Kingdom to Minnesota USA. CFR Rinkens provided door-to-door service and took care of all logistics, paperwork and customs filings. Super-easy. And since they stack up to four cars into a shipping container, they cost less than other carriers (I compared five).
Have used CFR many times both domestically and internationally, they consistently impress me across the board. Connie is wonderful to deal with---very prompt and helpful. Rates are excellent, terminal staff friendly, and I can always expect the car to arrive on time and undamaged. Have had a few friends and clients ship with them as well, wouldnt recommend any other company!
I sent some car parts and a Chevy truck cab through CFR Rinkens recently and the way the freight was handled was great. Nigel took care of everything for me and bent over backwards to make sure I was happy. Nigel was very professional and kept me informed right through the process. I ll be sending more parts soon. Thanks again.
Best place to ship cars and stuff around the globe. Offices all over east/west oast, real easy to worl with, very professional :)
As a broker that ships internationally CFR Rinkins has always provided a 1st class service. From the office staff to the guys in the yard its a pleasure to deal with this company.Kevin Roots CEO Enigma Cars USA
Took my BMW 850i back to Germany. The people at CRF Rinkens are highly professional, deliver top-of-the-shelf services, and were very competent and helpful during each step of the export/import procedure. The car was treated very well and arrived without a single scratch. Interaction with the employees at CFR Rinkens was very pleasant and efficient, which in the end resulted in a very smooth process. Highly recommended. Thanks!
I shipped a car from Miami to Bremerhaven and was very happy with the experience. E-mails were always responded to quickly, and the process on both ends went very smoothly and quickly. This is the 2nd vehicle I shipped internationally, the first was with a different company and this experience was significantly better with the car arriving just as I shipped it
Quite possibly the best shipping company i have dealt with internationally. All my dealing with Nigel and Michele have been excellent, Shipping rate extremely competitive anywhere in the world and always on time and as promised. Great company to do business with.
Great company. using this shipper already for a few years and I am very happy with their service they provide. love to work with them...
Perfect service from the team in LA. Both Patrick and Steve that helped me have done a great job guiding me through the process I need to follow to ship my car from LA to Europe. Thanks guys!
This is for Connie - she is the best - saving me money for my envelopes - make all the communication with the manufacture - i never ask for this but this is is customer service - real customer service. I got a great Rate and very fast - i would tell my best friend go there they are the best - they will take care of you.I had a lot other shipping companys - they a sloppy and as small customer they dont want you really to much work to less profit.With Rinkens i feel like a customer and they always response quick and give me always good advice.
This is the third car Ive brought over and I can honestly say they are the most professional outfit I have ever used. Raymond especially goes above and beyond to ensure the customer is satisfied.
Very efficient organisation. Will do again with them if need arise
Great business to help you with all of your shipping needs, both import and export 5⭐️
Always great experience. We bring a pallet or two out to new zealand few times a year. Rinkens crew always on top of the job, professional, and consistent. They delivered 3 cars for us now with no issues at all. Special thanks to Raymond for his unending patience. 😆
To Whom It may concern,I have found dealing with Nigel Wilkinson at CFR Rinkens very easy.As a first time user of your service I found the information I was given by Nigel clear and easy to understand. The process has been easy and I have been kept informed all the way through even when I called on the weekend Nigel picked up to answer my questions. He was also on Holiday at one stage but still answered my e-mails. I think this is going above and beyond the call of duty. In fact I have been made so comfortable with my first transaction that I have made another one with Nigel since.Thanks to Nigel and CFR team for making it so simple.RegardsChris Boden.
Had to deal with some trouble and they resolved it within a day. very nice and fast.
I had to relocate to the US from Japan because of work, and really wanted to bring my sports car with me. CFR was super professional and responsive throughout, dealing with novice questions from my side without skipping a beat.Connie was friendly, responsive and professional throughout. Would definitely use again if the need arises .
Definitely 5 star service from CFR Rinkens and in particular Nigel Wilkinson. Shipping a 1970 Dodge Challenger from Dallas TX to Melbourne AU was made easy and hassle free thanks to Nigel. With his knowledge and nothing too much trouble attitude the whole process was smooth and stress free.Thanks Nigel and CFR.
A big thanks to Nigel Wilkinson from CFR Rinkens, hes a true professional who takes great pride in his work & his customer service is outstanding. Nigel made the process of shipping my cars from the USA seamless & I will definitely use his services again.Great work Nigel 5 stars!
Great experience, and the best price! I shipped our car from San Diego, CA to Germany they promised 6 weeks and it was here in six weeks. Without an additional scratch or dent. There was a slight problem with communication as I wasnt notified when the car arrived but when I checked it was there and they had been trying to find us.
Been working with Nigel Wilkinson for a few years now. Great guy and very professional service. Never had one problem with any shipments and hes always been great at communicating and answering any concerns promptly. Highly recommend him and CFR!
This company is great and I would highly recommend them. Nigel Wilkinson is fantastic, helpful and very knowledgable.Nigel has imported 3 vehicles and 2 other shipments to Australia with no problems whatsoever. I would encourage anyone who was thinking of shipping any items to call Nigel and use this company. He is a very honest and reliable guy! Their prices are always the best around too.Thanks Nigel and CFR Rinkens, will be in touch soon for another shipment!Matt
Great service who im comfortable with using for all my shipmentsreasonable rates and hassle free service
Totally solid. CFR Rinkens arranged everything for me, and everything went smoothly. Car arrived without a hitch and I received great communication from Nigel Wilkinson at every step. I would use CFR again without hesitation and recommended them to anyone.
I scheduled my vehicle to be shipped via container from Germany to the US. Scheduling, paperwork, and pick-up coordination was all competed by email and very easy. Connie Chan (who assisted me) was especially helpful and responsive, even as I changed plans a couple times.Vehicle was picked up at my residence in Germany with no issues. Picking up the car in Miami on the other end was easy. I noticed at the time that the car was dirty and the vehicle was stored with windows slightly open (in a warehouse). No apparent issues other than the dirtiness so I took the car home. After washing it the next morning, I noticed several scratches and paint blemishes that were not there when it was last in my possession, and were not noted on the inspection sheet when the car was picked up in Germany. I also noticed that my car, despite having left the warehouse, still smelled like the warehouse...probably a result of them leaving my windows down. I contacted CFR Rinkens with photos and descriptions. It was explained to me that because I hadnt paid for the extra insurance offered by CFR Rinkens, they couldnt help me.I chose CFR Rinkens because they place the cars in containers for shipment. I thought that in a container, my vehicle would be protected from the elements and would arrive in pristine condition. This was not the case, unfortunately. Some of the scratches were in locations (rocker panel, rear quarter panel, roof, etc) that leads me to believe that the car was damaged as a driver was squeezing out of my car during the container loading/unloading process and fluids dripped from other vehicles onto my car. I have no way of knowing that of course, but my impression of shipping a car via container is now negative. In shipping my car to Germany three years prior, I selected another company that shipped the vehicle via RORO (roll on-roll off). I had no issues with that method and would choose that in the future.Despite phenomenal customer service on the front end, I would not choose CFR Rinkens again based off the condition my vehicle was in after getting it back. Additionally, I was disappointed that - despite the fact that the damage was not noted on the inspection form at pick-up in Germany (meaning the damage was definitely caused while in the possession of CFR Rinkens) - they would not take responsibility for the damage because I had not purchased their insurance.
I really wish I could give less than a star. My experience with this company and its people has been less than acceptable. They drained my liquids without telling me. Told me the car ran and it did not run when I received it. Failed to give me my paperwork. Failed to communicate properly. Became extremely verbally aggressive in person. FORGED my signature on liability paperwork! RUN. Do yourself a favor. You do not want to be one of the few that gets screwed over. I hope they aren’t expecting me to give up this easily on getting recompasated for the damages they are responsible for. Despicable company.
I have used CFR many times over the last decade, service and communication has always been excellent . I have used other shipping companies on occasion, but none have come close to CFR .Rob, UK
PROFESSIONAL ! PROFESSIONAL NO GETTING AWAY. THE BEST OF THE BEST
They saved me! Not only was everyone very cooperative and kind, they are very understanding. I got the best price, and they transport your car in a crate so no damage was done. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will for sure use them again.
Homies job
Excellence to the max. Steve and his team is always very helpful, fast and accommodating. Has helped me out transport vehicles from various parts of the country to Germany and Holland without any problems.Will continue to use the services as vehicles need transportation.regardsJan
I have dealt with CFR Rinkens for a few years shipping 25-30 cars with them over the last 6 years. They have always been very professional. I will say though I went to buy a car in Seattle in January and only had a small window of time to get the car bought, packaged up and trucked to CFR Rinkens. The there were problems with the trucker and Raymond stepped in and solved the problem very quickly. This kind of calm professionalism is what you need in a shipper. Thanks Raymond!
I shipped 3 classic cars meanwhile with CFR Rinkens from USA to Europe and Ive been very happy with the service I get there. Steve Feeney is always there for any questions and individual support for premium customer satisfaction. For me the company and my personal contact are absolutely recommendable.
My search for a shipper brought me to CFR Rinkens. What impressed me most was the efficiency and personal attention I got from Steve Feeney to my mails, followed by the prompt collection of the car from the seller and shipment to India. I was constantly updated at every stage and documents sent to me promptly after shipment. Their charges were very reasonable, certainly intend to use their services again.
Your customer service in Los Angeles was very good. Dropping off the bike was easy and everyone involved was very helpful.However when I pick up my bike in England I was very upset that you used paint to write the shipping information on the windscreen of the motorcycle. I had to buy cleanser and it took me over an hour of rubbing to partially remove the writing. Thankfully it only ruined an after market windscreen, if this had ruined the oringinal I would have been extremly upset. You put a sticker on the seat that would not come completely off.
Great service no hassles moving a pallet from CA to NZ . Thanks team
Ive shipped same vehicle three times same ports with CFR. Ist time was the best. 30 day arrival as promised to Breman. Return from Breman to Paramount no so good. It took almost four months and while in the middle of the Atlantic, I am notified shipping costs have doubled due to additional customs inspection. I was uneasy being offered only one form of payment to a foreign bank that I had to give all my banking information to. Then after the transfer, I was left uneasy in waiting for confirmation of payment an additional 10 days. Third time from Paramount to Breman I allowed 45 days for arrival. When I landed in Europe, no vehicle that I was depending on. It took almost 60 days. When the vehicle did arrive I was not offed any compensation for the late delivery.
