I want to track transport. I am in Austin, Texas. Which port will my car come through? Charleston? Thanks in advance.

In Austin, good question, but I think you'll be coming from Charleston. I'm in New Orleans and came through Charleston. Do a search because the times can vary but you should be on the WW line which does allow tracking. Could be at the port in Germany for 7-10 days, just depends on ship loading, another 7-10 days on the water. The car then took 7 days from landing in Charleston to arriving at my dealer, so likely 2 days in route from VPC. Being in Austin I would guess 2-3 for yours.

Actually, my car was just released to the port in Europe. I am trying to figure out what ship my car will be on. It appears from the WW site that you need to know what port the ship is sailing to in the U.S.

HerrRick, your car will very likely come through Charleston as did mine while enroute to Dallas. You have to make yourself believe that waiting is a good thing.?
