International Vehicle shipping to United States

I need information on international vehicle shipping to United States. The vehicle was recently purchased at an auction in France, and I want to ship the vehicle home to Texas. Since this is my first time in shipping a vehicle internationally, I wanted to ask a professional who has experience in this. How are vehicles shipped between countries? Are they loaded directly onto a ship? Or are they loaded into a container and then loaded onto a ship? Do I deliver the vehicle to the shipyard? Do I collect the vehicle once it arrives in the United States? About how much will it cost for me to ship my vehicle? Does your company guarantee my vehicle will arrive undamaged? Can I purchase insurance for my vehicle just in case something does happen en route? I have so many questions and not enough space here to post them. When you email me your information, please include your direct contact information as I would like to discuss this shipment with you before I ship my vehicle. Thank you greatly for this.
