Stranded Traveler in Ukraine - Any Ideas Please ?
Guys - a shout for help from the collective wisdom ?
A mate from UK traveling overland in a land rover 110 has had an accident in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
He's doing this for charity: Welcome To Cornwall 2 Capehorn: Cornwall2capehorn
He's fine but his land rover is not in any state to be driven and the local land rover dealer cannot fix the problem...
In sorting things out a local lawyer and contact of mine have been able to make the "officials and paperwork" problems go away but Benjy has to get himself and a Land Rover 110 get out of the country reasonably quickly...
He's seeing if his RAC cover helps but isn't getting too far with the call centres...
I'm hitting Google and the phones hard as I type, but does anyone have any contacts or names in Ukraine in particular (or rest of Europe who might have contacts in their network) involved in vehicle / automotive transportation please ?
He ideally needs to get the Rover back to UK. But doing it in stages is another option by first getting it overland to Poland. He's been quoted $1,000 to get it to the Polish border - but from there ??
The other option is, if he can get it to the coast, by sea from Odessa...
Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or contacts in the vehicle / freight forwarding sector please ?
I have already asked James Cargo for any contacts they have...
Thanks in advance
Simon
