The Least Expensive Transport Method for Overseas Deliveries
Although open air transport methods don’t offer the greatest protection against poor weather and outside elements, it is a popular shipping option. It isn’t surprising that nearly all car manufacturers and dealers use open air shipping methods to transport their inventory all over the world. Not only is it inexpensive, but it is the simplest way to ship multiple vehicles at one time. When open air shipping methods are preferred for an overseas delivery, the car is secured to the top of a freight ship. This shipping method is referred to as the RO/RO method and unfortunately, not all seaports accept this type of import. Your transport company will figure out the best routes and ports to fulfill the vehicle’s delivery.
When you choose an open air shipping method, you’ll need to prepare the vehicle accordingly. This usually includes a thorough cleaning of the vehicle’s exterior and interior. The removal of all items with the exception of floor mats, a car jack and a spare tire. Your gas tank must also read below ¼ full. However, you may be asked to top all other fluids off before the transport. Preparing the car for its transport from Miami to Europe helps decrease the risks involved with an open air overseas transport that may cause harm to the vehicle or those caring for it.
