Procedures to follow
There are two basic methods through which vehicles are shipped abroad namely, Roll-on/Roll-off or RORO method. This is the more affordable method and you can opt for it after adhering to the terms and conditions of it. These are:
- Steam clean your car to avoid Albanian government’s quarantine
- Air conditioning gas removal
- Car accessories/spare part remove
- Personal items need to be removed from within the interiors
However, it is a rule that you need to have spare tire, floor mats and jack when you choose RORO shipping. The vehicle will be harnessed for limited movement and secured so that it reaches safely. On reaching the port, it will be rolled off the ship.
The more personalized and expensive method is container shipping herein the car along with personal goods that need to be shipped will be enclosed and locked within 20 feet or 40 feet containers and loaded onto the ship. To cut costs, you can share it with someone else. However, this is more secure way of transporting though more expensive. Irrespective of the chosen procedure, the vehicle will reach the Port of Durres safely when A1 Auto Transport service is with you.
