*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Modes of shipping

There are two transit variations offered when shipping cars to or from port of Helena, Arkansas; shared container shipping and exclusive container shipping.

In shared container shipping, multiple cars are loaded into a single container at the port. The container must be fully filled before it sets off to the wild rapids. As such, this method doesn’t guarantee a fixed departure date.

Its saving grace is cost effectiveness. The shipping costs will be spread out among all the owners of the cars loaded inside the container. What’s more, it may serve as the only budget-friendly alternative in the event Ro Ro vessels are not available.

In exclusive container shipping, your automobile will be shipped individually in a 20 ft container. The space will not be shared with other vehicles. If you wish to ship personal belongings inside your car, this method is your best bet. The only drawback is that you’ll pay more.

Both methods can transport non-motorized cars and offer top-of-the-line safety by being waterproof and wind-tight.
