International Car Shipping Services Miami, Florida

Miami, Florida, is an ideal spot to ship a car internationally, mainly because so many parts of the world are easily accessible from the local port. Whether you’re shipping a car to Central America, South America, or Europe, Miami provides one of the central gateways and delivery routes to those parts of the world. This blog post will discuss relocating a car internationally, specifically from Port of Miami.

The Port of Miami is one of the largest and busiest transporting ports in the United States, especially for cargo shipping containers, frequently used when hauling vehicles overseas. In addition to being a major port for container shipping, the Port of Miami is also equipped to handle RORO (roll on, roll off) transport of vehicles.

RORO v. Containerized - If you’re unfamiliar with the shipping terms mentioned above, we’ll explain them here. Containerized relocating means the vehicle is secured inside a shipping container and loaded onto a transport ship with other cargo in containers. RORO or roll on, roll of, means the car is driven onto the ship and parked in a cargo area designed for cars, where it is secured for transport.

Other Concerns When Shipping A Car Internationally

For those shipping a car in the Southeast U.S., Miami is one of the few good options you’ll have (Tampa being the other one). That means you may also have to arrange for a short overland auto transport shipment to get your vehicle to the transporting port. In most cases, you can arrange this with the company you’ve hired to ship your vehicle, as they generally provide both services, particularly in the same region.

Preparation - You must properly prepare your vehicle for carrying before it’s loaded into a container or onto a ship. There is probably more to the process than you might think, so make sure you understand everything involved! This guide will help you cover the bases and ensure everything is in order.

Insurance - The auto transport company provides basic insurance coverage, and it covers any at-fault accidents caused by the shipper. Sometimes, your current auto insurance may also provide some coverage against damages when shipping. Alternatively, you can purchase additional insurance through the carrier, which is generally only recommended for high-value, rare, or exotic vehicles.
