Shipping Methods for Sweden 

There are two main shipping methods to Sweden- Roll On/ Roll off and Enclosed Container shipping. The Roll On/ Roll Off method is the most affordable way to ship your vehicle. This method requires that your vehicle be driven onto the deck of a freight ship and then strapped down for safety. It is then unfastened and driven off once it reaches the port in Sweden. Most auto manufactures use this method of shipping when shipping vehicles from Europe to the U.S.

Container shipping service is the more expensive of the two methods of shipping however it provides the most security. With this type of shipping, your vehicle will be placed inside a container where there will be enough room to place household items as well as your vehicle. The delivery time is faster on container shipping. The Roll On/ Roll Off service doesn’t allow for anything left inside the car during transport. You will be able to book your arrival date ahead of time so you can make plans and prepare. 

No matter which shipping method you end up choosing, you should go ahead and check into Marine Cargo Insurance with your current insurance company. Going through your active insurance company will save you more money than if you went through another company.
