With booking available directly through our system, auto quotes are an efficient way to ensure you\u2019re getting the best rates for your shipment and can save you and your business valuable time and money. \u201cExpanding our instant quoting service to Europe means increased carrier options, capacity, and rate transparency \u2013 all at our customer\u2019s fingertips,\u201d says Sheltered International founder <a href=\"https:\/\/siships.com\/sheltered-international-ceo-andrew-ciccarone-freight-forwarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Ciccarone<\/a>. Read on to learn more about the new function.<\/p>\n<h3>Providing EU Full Container Rates<\/h3>\n<p>While SiShips previously offered <a href=\"https:\/\/siships.com\/save-your-business-valuable-time-with-siships-quoting-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto quotes from Asian ports<\/a>, European ports were more complex. \u201cThe EU market is very diverse, with many small countries each requiring niche market knowledge,\u201d explains Ciccarone. \u201cThis can make the market particularly difficult for a customer to navigate efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although SiShips already provides spot quotes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joc.com\/port-news\/european-ports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European shipping lanes<\/a>, we wanted to provide the ease and efficiency of auto quotes for those clients shipping from Europe as well as from Asia. The solution? Partner with a European business, combining its expertise with that of Sheltered International. \u201cOur partner in the EU was established in 1968, has more than 40 offices in 25 countries, and over 100 million euros of purchasing power,\u201d says Ciccarone. \u201cSiShips technology combined with that expertise and purchasing power is a compelling benefit for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How to Access Full Container Auto Quotes<\/h3>\n<p>Obtaining a full container quote in the SiShips system is easy. Simply click \u201cQuotes,\u201d within the software, then click \u201cFull Container Auto Quote.\u201d From there, input the origin city and destination. The software can provide auto quotes for ports in the following countries:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4644\" src=\"http:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"auto quotes shipping European ports\" width=\"573\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/siships.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pexels-matthis-volquardsen-2091159-1144x763.jpg 1144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Austria<\/li>\n<li>Belgium<\/li>\n<li>Bulgaria<\/li>\n<li>Czech Republic<\/li>\n<li>Denmark<\/li>\n<li>France<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<li>Greece<\/li>\n<li>Hungary<\/li>\n<li>Italy<\/li>\n<li>Lithuania<\/li>\n<li>Poland<\/li>\n<li>Portugal<\/li>\n<li>Romania<\/li>\n<li>Slovakia<\/li>\n<li>Slovenia<\/li>\n<li>Spain<\/li>\n<li>Sweden<\/li>\n<li>The Netherlands<\/li>\n<li>United Kingdom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If the port you\u2019re shipping from isn\u2019t available for an auto quote, our experts are available to provide a custom quote for your business.
