Shipping Options from U.S.A

Though sea-freight is used commonly, you have an option of shipping your car by air. This method is the most expensive. Your vehicle will be loaded onto back of an air craft and flown to its destination. Though it is quick, the exorbitant price is a deterrent to most people. There are two sea freight methods that are usually chosen when shipping a vehicle internationally. These are:

• Roll On/ Roll Off - This method of shipping is the most common method of freight shipping. With this method, you are only allowed to ship an empty vehicle apart from other specific restrictions and limitations. Additionally, your vehicle will be driven on to the deck of a ship and harnessed in a pre-allocated bay for the trip. Once the vehicle reaches the port, it will be driven off the ship and released into the customs.
• Container Shipping: This is a more secure way to ship your vehicle. You have the option of shipping your vehicle and any personal belongings that have to be moved within twenty feet or forty feet containers. They are sealed after the requisite goods and vehicle is secured inside. They are then lifted using a crane, unto the ship’s deck or cargo hold.
