How to Transport a Car to Casablanca

Casablanca has Morocco's largest harbor, therefore shipping a car there from the United States is the most efficient option. Costs to ship an automobile from the United States to Casablanca, Morocco, will vary based on a number of factors, including the vehicle's dimensions and weight, the distance traveled by ship, and the method of transport selected. The most common methods of international auto transport are:

Ro-Ro Shipping- The most preferred way to ship a car overseas. The car is easily driven onto the ship, secured and then transported from the United States to Casablanca. Once it reaches the sea port in Casablanca it is driven off the ship and can be taken through the customs checkpoint. The car must be empty to transport on a Ro-Ro carrier so there may need some physical preparations that will need to be done prior to shipping the car. Any pre-journey modifications that may need to be done will be fully explained by the agent with the auto transport company.

Container Shipping- Shipping a car inside of a large shipping container makes it easy to be able to ship household content along with the car when shipping it overseas. The car and any personal items will be packed inside of a container and then loaded onto a cargo ship for international transport. You may want to check with customs to make sure that any personal items you plan on packing are approved for import into Casablanca prior to shipping.
