Quotes Tailored to You – Fast, Easy, and Convenient

Quotation

The quotation experience with Quick Quotes and Quick Quotes Spot has just become even more convenient. Thanks to a brand-new design, your offer request is easier than ever. Simply enter your search details: start and end location, validity date, container type, and commodity – and get all your quotation options with Hapag-Lloyd at once. After comparing and choosing the best offer in a single screen, you can customize the offer by adding additional services with a single click.

You can always book directly after receiving the offer – we will guide you through the process. Alternatively, for selected offers (e.g., Quick Quotes), you can book later as well. You will receive a 12-digit quotation number (e.g. W12345678910) at the end, which you can simply include in your booking request.

You can edit your search anytime until you book or got a quote by clicking on the little “Edit” icon in the upper right of the side bar on the left.

FAQs - Offer Selection

The total price per container is calculated based on the current exchange rate of the surcharges into the currency of the sea freight. Surcharges that do not apply per container (e.g. document fees) are not included in the total price.

No.

The total per container in the quotation is only an estimate and not binding. The exchange rates valid at the time of invoicing are decisive for the invoice.

Not all products are available for all routings, container types, and cargo types that Hapag-Lloyd generally offers. We are constantly working to expand our offerings and the functionality of the application. If something is still missing, please contact your local sales office to get an offer for your request.

Prices may vary per departure. We take your departure selection into account and offer you prices that cover the period of the chosen departure.
