Methods of Shipping to Perth
After deciding to ship your vehicle to Perth, there are two very popular methods in which to choose from. RO/RO and container shipping methods are amongst the most commonly chosen. These methods allow a vehicle to be shipped by sea.
The RO/RO shipping method requires that the empty vehicle be rolled onto and off of the ship. The car must only contain a spare tire, a car jack, and some floor mats. This method is the least expensive.
The container method allows a vehicle to be filled with belongings. The remaining space in the container can also be filled with possessions. The container can be shared with another person to help ease the cost of shipment.
