You will also want to make sure that International Shipping Insurance is included in the total cost of shipping and if it is not, you will need to make sure that you acquire a policy that will cover the car while shipping to Al Ain.

Ways to Ship

With the availability of sea ports near Al Ain, shipping by ocean carrier is the preferred method of shipping to Al Ain. There are two ways to ship your car internationally by the sea.

• Ro-Ro (Roll On-Roll Off) Shipping

Ro-Ro Shipping is generally the choice made by most when shipping their vehicle to another country. With Ro-Ro Shipping, vehicles are driven directly on the carrier ship at the point of origin and driven off at the destination point. This is the simplest and most inexpensive way of shipping a vehicle to Al Ain. When shipping via Ro-Ro, you will need to ensure that you have left no personal items in your car prior to shipping.

• Container Vehicle Shipping

Container Shipping is exactly what the name says. Your vehicle will be shipped inside of a container on a carrier ship from the United States to the closest port to Al Ain. While Container Shipping is a bit more expensive than Ro-Ro Shipping due to having to have more stability for safety reasons while shipping your vehicle, it is a great value when you want to ship other items with your vehicle. You have an option of a 20ft or a 40ft container and can easily have your vehicle and other items shipped at the same time. You can also opt to share a container with another shipper who may be shipping a vehicle to the same port.
