Shipping a car to Gambia can be a very simple process as long as you know what needs to be taken care of before you make the shipping arrangements. Roadways in Gambia are very rough and not many are modernized and during the rainy season from June through October, many of the roadways will flood and become impassable for motor vehicles. Having a 4-wheel drive is a practical suggestion for those who want to bring their own vehicle into the country for personal usage.

Gambia has one shipping port where vehicles can be imported. The port is in the city of Banjul in West Africa and is accessible by both Ro-Ro Shipping and Container Shipping methods. Your transport agent will be able to discuss with you the best way to ship your vehicle to Gambia. The agent will also direct you on the paperwork you need to fill out prior to shipping, cleaning your personal items out of your vehicle, and anything else you may need to do to prepare your car for shipping.

Methods of Shipping Cars

• RoRo Shipping - RoRo is the least inexpensive method of shipping your car to Gambia. RoRo ships deliver cars, trucks, vans and other wheeled vehicles. The ships are designed with ramps that vehicles can drive straight onto the ship where they will then be secured for delivery. At the exit port, the vehicle is unsecured and then driven off the ship where it may be picked up at the port and either delivered to your location, or you can pick it up and drive it into Gambia from the port.

• Container Shipping - Container shipping simply means you can have your car shipped inside of a 20 or 40-foot container on a freight ship. Container shipping takes a little longer than RoRo Shipping because customs will have to inspect the containers. Container Shipping is also slightly more expensive than RoRo Shipping, but for people who may have other household or personal items that they need to ship along with their car, containers are a reliable choice for transportation overseas.

To find out more about the documents you will need prior to shipping your car, and other useful information on shipping and customs regulations when traveling to Gambia, you can contact the U.S. Border and Protection Agency.

How Should I Ship My Heavy Equipment or Oversized Cargo to Gambia?

Depending on the type of cargo you’re trying to ship, there are four overseas transport methods offered through A1. Every transport method varies in style and price, so to give you some idea of what each one entails we’ve included a brief description for all four methods.

• Lift On/Lift Off shipping is an open air service that is highly recommended to those with with large broken down vehicles or with crated heavy equipment. A crane will lift your cargo on to the top of the ship and lift it off once it reaches port.
• Roll On/Roll Off shipping is the least expensive open air service we have to offer. It is a popular transport method that is only available to those with operable vehicles and equipment, able to roll onto and off of the ship.
• Container shipping is the safest form of transport and therefore, it is also the most expensive. If your cargo is able to fit inside of a 40ft shipping container, you may be eligible to purchase this overseas shipping method.
• Flat rack shipping is another open air service yet it provides a little more security than the other open air methods. Your cargo will be secured to a large metal frame before it is placed on the ship. If inclement weather presents a problem, we may shrink wrap your cargo for further protection.
