Car Shipping Belize City
The largest city in Belize, Belize City was the former capital of the country when it was known as British Honduras. The city is situated on the banks of the Haulover Creek which flows into the Belize River, nearly five miles from the Caribbean Sea. It is the largest port apart from being the industrial, financial, and commercial center, apart from being a tourist destination for cruises.
This is one of the reasons that the scope of employment is high here. Many people work and stay in the region on a temporary or permanent basis, moving from the US. However, with poor and unreliable means of public transportation, it is best to import your vehicle for ease of commute.

Key Considerations
To establish your identity as the owner of the vehicle, it is important to have your International Driving License and passport. Additionally, other documents will need to be verified at the U.S port and the area. These include:
- Bill of sale of the vehicle.
- Original title deed.
- Documents about vehicle details- Make, engine and chassis numbers, license plate, model.
- VIN or vehicle identification number.
Time To Move
If you are looking to check the shipping time, you can talk with our service, as they have extensive experience in transporting vehicles to Belize and other Caribbean countries. Generally, the whole process of moving the vehicle from the U.S to Belize City will take about 10-15 days, before you can claim the vehicle there.
The cost of dispatching is calculated based on different factors including the fee charged by the moving service, insurance of the vehicle, the method of hauling that you choose, and whether you need the ‘door-to-door- service. You can buy insurance if the ride is a vintage or a luxury vehicle even though mishaps during transit are rare. Additionally, if you select the RORO service, the size and dimensions of the car will affect the price of shipping. Apart from that some custom duties and levies are applicable by the Belize Customs and Excise Department.
Moving Services
There are different methods of moving your vehicle and you can discuss it with the shipping service. However, the basic methods include RORO and container moving. It is best to choose container hauling if you have an expensive vehicle that you are sending or have other household goods that need to be transported to the region. If you are only sending a standard car, Roll-on/Roll-Off works as it is cheaper than container shifting as you only have to pay for space occupied by your ride. The car is driven on and off the move and that is why it is mandatory to keep ¼ tank of fuel. Other than that no personal items or flammable substances including air conditioning gas are not allowed on board.
