Auto Transport Methods to evaluate.
The varieties of transporting methods available for autos include the roll on and roll off service, container transport and air shipping. These methods are all desirable, with the exception of cost. The cost for air shipping is extremely high and usually not affordable to most.
Container shipping allows the vehicle to be placed within an enclosed trailer. The space can be shared with another person, which will also ease the price for service. The vehicle can also hold belongings within its seats and trunk.
Roll on and roll off services consist of the auto being transported to Madagascar on top of a flatbed ship. It will be open to elements, but cost considerably less than container shipping. The vehicle must remain free of all items with the exception of floor mats, a spare tire and a carjack.
Obviously, consider budget first when determining what method of transport is best suited for the job. If the safety of the vehicle is first and foremost, many transport services have additional insurance plans.
