Shipping procedure
Here is a step by step play of what to do when shipping cars to or from Port of Town of Hempstead New York.
After choosing a reliable auto shipper you will release your car to them accompanied by all the relevant paperwork. You have the option of delivering it to their warehouse or asking for one of their representatives to it pick from your door. Suffice to say, the latter will cost you a little more.
Once at the port, your vehicle will be safely secured in a shipping container to ensure that it remains free of damage throughout the transit. Afterwards, it will be subject to inspection by customs personnel, and if everything is in order, it will ship out.
Upon arriving at the destination, your car will be offloaded and cleared through customs a second time before it can be delivered to your door or await pick up at the terminal.
Mode of shipping
The two modes of shipping available when shipping cars to or from Port of Town of Hempstead, New York are Roll on Roll off shipping and Container shipping.
Ro Ro shipping is simpler and the cheaper of the two. With this method, vehicles will be protected from harsh marine conditions by being secured in sealed car decks that resemble a multi-story parking garage. The loading process is done by driving your vehicle onto lowboy flatbed trailers. It is suitable for transporting large vehicles such as trucks and buses as well as compact cars. The only noteworthy drawback is the lack of coverage throughout the globe.
Pro tip: Remove all your personal belongings from the car when shipping with Ro/Ro lest you suffer delays and/or fines.
As for container shipping, you may either decide to ship vehicles in a shared or an exclusive box. With the exclusive package, your vehicle will be the only car in the 20ft shipping container whereas in a shared container vehicles heading to the same destination will be consolidated into one container till its full. The tradeoff for the cheap consolidation method would be contending with delays.
