About Spedition HTL
Your Trusted Partner for Car Transport in Europe
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.
Why Choose Spedition HTL?
A carrier, not a broker: we take the order, we carry the CMR liability, and one dispatcher stays on the file from quotation to delivery.
Over 10 years of experience
Over 8,000 vehicles transported each year for automotive businesses across Europe.
Extensive European Network
Regular corridors between Germany, France, Benelux and Denmark, and towards Italy, Spain and Portugal, with our certified partners.
CMR cover
Every transport is covered by the CMR liability — and for high-value vehicles we offer ad valorem insurance up to €250,000.
