Car Shipping Ashaiman
Ashaiman is a large city in Ashaiman Municipal district within the greater Accra region in Ghana. If you are moving here for any reason, it is important that you hire an international shipping service to move your vehicle with your other personal goods.
A1 Auto Transport service fits the bill as we have shipped hundreds of vehicles to Ghana and other African countries in the past and understand the laws and the working of the Ghana Revenue Authority.
Additionally, if you live far away from the departure port, you might need assistance to get the vehicle delivered by using our door to port services. However if you are looking to cut costs, you can drive down and get it done on your own. We can offer assistance based on your requirements.
Another key aspect that will affect and determine the cost of the shipment is the method of shipping that you will select. You have the option of choosing from Roll-on/Roll-Off and Container shipment. The most affordable option is RORO as the vehicle shipping is charged on the basis of space used for parking it on the ship’s deck. You are not allowed to keep anything apart from spare tire, extra keys, floor mats and car jack. It is essential that the vehicle is in an operable condition because if you intend using RORO, it has to be driven off and off the ship.
In case you have other personal goods to ship along with the vehicle, you can select container shipping where your vehicle or goods are packed within 20 feet or 40 feet containers. Cranes are used to load and unload the containers from the ships. You might want to have extra insurance on the vehicle if you are shipping a luxury vehicle or a vintage car.
