Ship Car To Brikama

Car Shipping Brikama

One of the largely populated cities in Gambia, Brikama is close to Banjul, the capital city. Known for ethnic crafts and music, the city is home to educational institutes. Whether you are a diplomat or have a work visa, you will need to have your vehicle for ease of commuting within the city and in the larger city. However, shipping your vehicle from USA to Brikama in Gambia isn’t as difficult as you thought. It is important that you have hired an experienced shipping service such as A1 Auto Transport service to make the shipping arrangements.

It is essential to know that the road conditions in the city are rough with poorly maintained inroads. Most of the roads are flooded during the monsoon (June to September) so you cannot drive with ease. It is better to have four wheel drive or SUVs for personal use as they are better on all terrains.
