Cost of shipping

These are a few considerations that have to be factored before you ship your vehicle with the assistance of a reputed international transport service. Other considerations that affect the price of shipping include selection of:

• Weight of the vehicle
• RORO or container shipping
• Self-drive to the port or ‘door-to-port’ pick up service
• Self-drive from Port of Thessaloniki in Greece to Kumanovo in Macedonia or get car delivery service

Thus, get a written quote from the shipping service based on the services you have selected. As Macedonia is a landlocked country, your car will arrive at Port of Thessaloniki in Greece. It is important that the owner of the vehicle or an authorized representative with Power of Attorney is there to take the delivery of the vehicle. Discuss the details of the shipping procedures with the A1 Auto Transport Company representatives.

Shipping methods

As mentioned, you have the option of container shipping or select the Roll-on/Roll-Off method.  This is the cheapest method as only the space occupied by the vehicle has to be paid for. The vehicle is driven on and off the ship and secured in place during the transit.  But there are some regulations about how the vehicle can be shipped have to be followed. Although when you ship to Macedonia, there is no requirement to drain the air conditioning gas or gasoline from the tank but it is imperative that these steps are taken if you are shipping by RORO. You are required to remove personal belongings so that there is no chance of theft on board.

Container shipping is safer yet more expensive. Your car and household goods that need to be transported are put together in large shipping containers and sealed. You can take the delivery of the container at the Port Thessaloniki in Greece. For more details about shipping to Kumanovo, please get in touch with the Embassy of the Republic of Macedonia.
