Shipping options

With two options of shipping, you need to inform A1 Auto Transport service whether you prefer RORO or container shipping. RORO is more affordable as the car is driven on the ship, secured on the deck and then driven off. You are not allowed to keep anything in the car and pay only for the parking slot. However, it is important to clean the car completely. In container shipping, it is important that you are not carrying anything that is considered illegal in Burundi. You have the option of hiring 20 feet or 40 feet container and putting the car and personal belongings in the container. This is a safer method but is more expensive.
