Ship Car To Dikhil

Car Shipping Dikhil

Located just east of the Lake Abbe, and near the border of Ethiopia, Dikhil is a large town in Djibouti and is about 100 km from the capital city of Djibouti.

You might have your own reasons for relocating to Dikhil on a temporary basis or maybe permanently, but it is important to have your own personal car when you live here. With poor connectivity of public transport and majority of unpaved roads, it helps to import your vehicle from USA when you move.

However, as the laws and taxes on vehicle import keep changing, it is best to refer to the current updates of Djibouti Customs Authority. Exporting and importing a vehicle isn’t possible if you try doing it alone as there are innumerable procedures and documentation that is needed. This is one of the reasons that you need to have reliable shipping service like A1 Auto Transport by your side, assisting you through the processes.

Additionally, you have two options when you ship your vehicle to Dikhil, Djibouti. Container shipping is the more secure but expensive method. That is because your vehicle will be put within large containers and sealed. This protects it from the harsh weather conditions during transit. Alternatively, RORO is cheaper but you have to ship an empty vehicle. In container shipping, the rest of the space in the container can be used to store your other belongings. But in RORO only a vehicle is shipped which is first driven on the deck, harnessed in place and then driven off.
