Cost of shipping car overseas
There are two basic choices to consider when transporting your vehicle which will play a factor in the cost. The best way to protect your vehicle during transit is to use containers that are available as 20 feet and 40 feet. Shipping containers will keep your vehicle protected from any weather elements or shipping hazards.
The next shipping method used is the Roll on, Roll off method. This method operates on securing the car on the ship deck. There are some rules when transporting this method:
- A driver needs to drive the vehicle on and off the ship.
- Vehicle must contain at least a quarter of a tank of gas. This is the maximum amount of gas allowed in the vehicle.
- Your vehicle must be free of any personal possessions inside while being transported.
Ports
There are three ports accessible for shipments going from the USA to Slovakia. These ports are port of New York, port of Savannah, and port of Los Angeles. Slovakia is landlocked so ocean containers will be able to deliver goods through transportation from the ports to land. Ports available in Slovakia include port of Gdynia in Poland or port of Constanta in Romania. If your goods are arriving in full containers or a cargo that is de-consolidated, then delivery by a truck at either port is necessary. As per the shipping company’s terms, the delivery of the container as per the Ocean Bill of Lading is to the nearest port or land-based location.
