Car Shipping Taipei City
Taipei City is the capital of Taiwan. It is a very influential city with a gorgeous skyline, beautiful hotels for tourists, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, National Palace Museum, and much more. There is a grand nightlife and the city remains very busy.
With about 3 million residents, it can be difficult trying to catch public transportation in Taipei City, especially with language barriers. Ship your own vehicle so that this won't be an issue. Shipping a vehicle to anywhere in Taiwan is actually rather easy compared to some countries where their policies are much stricter.

What Are the Available Shipping Methods?
There are several available shipping methods for anyone to take advantage of. One will have to base their decision off of their current circumstances and budget.
RO/RO shipping is simple and it is the cheapest. The vehicle must be free of anything other than floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire. It is then rolled on to the ship as well as off of the ship.
Container shipping is when the vehicle is placed inside a very large container. The vehicle may be filled with belongings approved by Taiwan Customs, as well as the remaining container space.
Air shipping is also an option. However, it is very expensive and not many are able to afford it.
