Choose a reliable transport company to ship your car to Puerto Rico with the guarantee it will arrive safe and sound. Getting a vehicle imported into the country is too difficult without the help and guidance of those familiar with the import laws of other nations. The car needs to comply with the regulations if Customs is to grant their approval.
The process of overseas auto transport is very detail oriented. As the shipping customer, you must make sure that the vehicle meets the country’s import restrictions. Some countries have high tax rates and strict import laws, making it almost impossible to ship a car over. The Embassy of Puerto Rico is who you need to call to find out the import laws and tax rates.
Many international transport companies will offer free quotes over the phone or by submitting a form on their website. After giving them answers to a few questions, they will provide you with a quote. Make sure you tell them that you prefer shipping with the container method. Unless you provide them with some information, giving an exact price on the transport is difficult.

About the Container Shipping Method
Container shipping services offer the ultimate security against outdoor elements during its lengthy journey to Puerto Rico. There are some stipulations for those using this method. The transport company will gladly explain them. However, there is another plus to this shipping service,
To make sure you have enough space for the car and whatever else you may ship over, pick the appropriate container size. The space in the smallest shipping container may be more than you need, so ask customer service for their suggestion. If you are moving with other people, see if they would be willing to split the cost of the container and space. Make sure that all the items packed away in the container are permitted by the country’s import laws.
