Shipping Cost.

When you are preparing your vehicle for importing, there are several factors that will help to determine how much your total cost will be. You may have the door-to-port option or the port-to-port option. You may also need to choose how you want to ship your vehicle; by Roll On/ Roll Off or container shipping. The RORO shipping method is the most affordable way to ship your vehicle. With this method, your vehicle is driven onto the deck of the ship and then driven off the ship deck when it reaches the port.

If you choose the Roll On/ Roll Off method of shipping, it's important to know that your vehicle will be exposed to the weather during transport. You need to figure in the cost of additional insurance when you use this method of shipping. All taxes and tariffs must be paid prior to your arrival date. A1 Auto Transport Service will explain all expenses associated with shipping your vehicle.
