The Shipping Methods to Select From for Vehicles

There are several ways to ship a vehicle outside of the United States. Some of these ways are more affordable than others, but all of them are options. It is up to you to select the appropriate method.

• Air shipping is the costliest. In fact, it is so expensive that not many can afford to transport a vehicle with this form of shipment.
• Container shipping is a method of shipment that allows a person to ship other belongings as well. This method allows the vehicle to also be filled with possessions. The container can also be shared with another person to help ease the costs.
• The cheapest method, RO/RO shipping, requires that the vehicle is empty with a few exceptions. These exceptions include a car jack, a spare tire, and floor mats. The vehicle must be able to drive onto and off of the ship.

One will have to contact the Embassy of Russia for the requirements for vehicle shipment. It is important to be knowledgeable and to fulfill all requirements. It is also crucial to provide all the proper documentation.
