Various Methods of Vehicle Shipment.
The methods of vehicle shipment available to you include RO/RO shipping, container shipping and air shipping. It is up to you to decide what method best suits your needs and budget.
- RO/RO shipping is when the empty vehicle is rolled onto and off of the ship. The only items allowed to be shipped in the vehicle include floor mats, a car jack and a spare tire. This is the cheapest method, but it isn't accepted by all ports.
- Air shipping is the most expensive method. While this method is best for landlocked countries with no nearby sea ports, it is typically too expensive for most.
- Container shipping is when the vehicle is placed in a large container and sent by ship. This will allow you to fill the vehicle and container with other belongings. The container can be shared with someone and so can the cost.
