Before the car is shipped out

It is essential that you get a free quote from A1 Auto Transport service, so that you are clear about the total cost of shipping the vehicle.  It is important to ensure that the vehicle is completely empty of any personal items so that there is no chance of any damage to the vehicle during transit.

If you are using RORO transportation, it is essential that you clean the vehicle from inside, remove the air conditioning gas and only leave a quarter tank of fuel. This is the cheapest method as you are only liable to pay for the parking space on the ship’s deck. The vehicle is driven on and off the ship, using its own set of wheels.

When you have to ship an expensive vehicle or household goods along with the vehicle, it is essential to ship your vehicle by container shipping. You have the option of selecting 20 feet or 40 feet containers, and after the vehicle and household goods are put inside, the container is sealed. That is why it is more expensive method.  

It is important to discuss the details with A1 Auto Transport service or get all the information from the Embassy of the Republic of Macedonia in Washington.
