Car Shipping Tipitapa
Located in the western part of Nicaragua, Tipitapa is located between Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua. It is in the "Lakes Basin" and this basin goes from the Gulf of Fonseca to Rio San Juan.
If you are relocating here or plan to do so in the next few weeks, it is important to know that it is good to have your own vehicle to traverse the city and the suburbs for work or leisure travel. A1 Auto Transport Service will use their twenty years of experience to help you ship your vehicle to Nicaragua and can offer door-to-port service as well.
You can choose to have the vehicle picked up at your home and delivered to the port you choose or you can choose the port-to-port which means that you drive the vehicle to port and pick it up at port. When your vehicle is shipped, it can be placed inside of a container, the more expensive option, a shared container, lower cost, or the Roll On/ Roll Off method which requires that your car is driven onto the ship and then fastened down for the trip.
