How to Ship a Car to Haifa.

Shipping an automobile to Haifa can be accomplished very conveniently and you will be able to use a variety of shipping methods based upon the type of car you need to ship as well as if you need to ship any personal items with the car. The ways to transport a car overseas to Haifa are;

• RORO Shipping- RORO shipping is a type of shipping where motor vehicles are driven onto a RORO carrier, secured for transport and then driven off the RORO carrier when it reaches Haifa Port in Israel. RORO is very efficient for shipping all types of motor vehicles and usually costs less than any other type of shipping because hundreds of motor vehicles can be loaded for shipment at once which cuts down the fuel cost per automobile owner during transport. Motor vehicles do need to be empty for transport via a RORO carrier and you will not be able to pack anything inside of the car during travel.
• Container Shipping- If you may have a more expensive or classic automobile or need to transport other items besides the automobile, you can use a shipping container and load everything at one time. Container shipping makes a complete international relocation simple and easily done.
• Air Cargo Shipping- Air cargo shipping is available but is generally used only for extremely expensive motor vehicles or personal items due to the cost. For shipping to Haifa, the most preferred way to ship is by sea.
