Spedition HTL, car transport across Europe
For dealerships, used-car traders, rental companies and import agents — France, Germany and 28 European countries, from a single vehicle to large volumes, direct delivery, no storage yard.
8,400 vehicles transported in 12 months (measured September 2026), for dealers, rental companies, traders and remarketing platforms across Europe.
1 to 2 business days average delivery after loading on the northern corridors (Germany, France, Benelux).
Spedition HTL GmbH (Düsseldorf, founded 2014) moves cars and light commercial vehicles on open car carriers across Europe; on every consignment HTL remains the contractual carrier, liable under the CMR, including when a certified partner drives.
What sets us apart
Car transport in Europe: our difference versus brokers and platforms.
Direct delivery, no storage
Your vehicles travel point to point, with no detour through an intermediate storage yard — controlled lead times and less handling.
Team EN · DE · FR
A native French-German team that coordinates with your sites and sellers in English, German and French, across Europe.
Contractual carrier, not a broker
47 trucks on our planning every day with certified partners, and HTL remains the contractual carrier: a single contact from start to finish. Five of them are car carriers of our own since 2014 — Scania tractors with Lohr, Kässbohrer and Rimo trailers.
Industry software & solid structure
Our own trucks, drivers and office team, run on the leading car-transport software — also used by major sector players such as Stellantis, VW, Ford, ADAC and BCA.
How we work
From your first contact to the invoice: how a transport actually runs at Spedition HTL — no grey areas.

Without a doubt, the best transport company I have ever dealt with. Their level of customer service is truly exceptional — professional, attentive, responsive, and always available when needed. They were incredibly fast with both the collection and delivery of my car, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional vehicle transport company.
