Hauling to
American Auto transport companies take cars, ATVs, RVs, boats, motorbikes, and other types of vehicles to the port for exportation to other countries. The port has a customs office that offers a full range of services, including vehicle processing. You can hire a car carrier to haul the vehicle to this port. The port is accessible by road and rail. However, most carriers prefer road carriers and use open or enclosed trucks.
Auto carriers who ship cars from overseas can use this port as an entry point. It is a convenient entry point from countries with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. Ideally, these are countries in Europe, Africa, South America, and the Near East. On arrival at the port, your auto transport company expects you to be present for customs clearance.
Hauling from
Vehicles arriving from overseas countries to the port have to be hauled to their destinations. This is why hiring an American auto transporter sending from overseas is a good option. If you hire a foreign-based transporter, you may have to drive from the port, which can be inconvenient if the vehicle's destination is far. Also, this is not a good option for car dealerships importing cars for sale due to the mileage. The other option is to hire another company to ship the vehicles from the port. Avoid this hassle by hiring an American vehicle transporter that ships from overseas to any location in the USA.
Container Transport
Hauling cars to or from the port of Savannah via container is a good option. The Port is the busiest single container port on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. The Garden City Terminal has busy container shipping schedules to any part of the world. The port also has a wide selection of global container shippers. All these factors facilitate the efficient delivery of containers to and from the port. This method is an excellent option if you are moving overseas, as you can load other items in the container together with the car.
RORO Carrier
The Ocean Terminal is the port's dedicated breakbulk facility. RORO vessels dock at this terminal for loading and unloading. RORO vessels are specifically designed to carry wheeled cargo. Hauling vehicles via these vessels is cheap but slow. It is convenient for car dealerships to haul many vehicles at the same time. But if you are an individual looking for fast delivery of your car, the container delivery method is the way to go.
