What are the regulations for flying with a car?

[Levi]

I need to fly with my car soon. What’s the easiest and safest way to transport it by plane, and what rules do I need to know?

 

[Ellis]

Air transportation of the car is subject to approval of air cargo, proper documentation, sound condition and having minimum fuel, size and weight limitations, insurance and the international shipping is subject to clearance by customs. It’s costly and rarely used.

 

[Henry]

Flying with a car is highly regulated and usually means air-freighting the vehicle, not taking it as passenger luggage. Regulations typically require customs clearance, ownership documents, fuel drained to minimal levels, battery disconnected, no hazardous materials inside, and compliance with airline and destination country import rules. It’s expensive and mainly used for luxury, race, or urgent transport.
