Read on to find out the process of shipping cars to or from Port of Vallejo, California.

Shipping cars through the port of Vallejo

The Vallejo City owns and operates the municipal marina at the port. Aside from the marina, there are no other port facilities at Vallejo. It is a small boat dock with no cargo handling facilities. As such, car shipping through the port is not possible.

Fortunately, it is in the San Francisco Bay where there several other seaports with auto cargo handling capabilities. These ports are;

• Port of Oakland
• Port of San Francisco
• Port of Richmond
• Port of Almeda

Of these, the Port of Richmond is the nearest and the closest to Vallejo. Through the port of Richmond, you can ship cars in containers or through the roll-on/roll-off method. Honda uses RORO vessels to ship their models to the US through the port of Richmond.

The cost of international car shipping to or from port of Vallejo

The cost of shipping cars overseas is dependent on three things;

• The distance. We consider three distances when determining the shipping rates. The distance between the current location of the car and the port of exit, the distance between the port of exit and port of entry (the distance the ship will cover), and the distance between the port of entry and the final destination of the car. Some customers cut the shipping costs by driving to the port of exit and/or from the port of entry themselves, where possible.
• The shipping method. Ro/Ro shipping is cheaper than containerized shipping. It is so because Ro/Ro vessels are specialized automobile carriers that can carry a lot of vehicles at the same time. This allows cost-sharing among car owners.
• The size of the car. When shipping via the Ro/Ro method, the size of the car increases the cost of shipping. When shipping via the container method, the weight of the car increases the prize. Also, if the car is too big, we might have to use a bigger container (40-foot) container, which is more expensive to ship than a small container.
