There are two different ways to ship a vehicle Roll On/ Roll Off method and the container shipping method. Both ways are acceptable but the Roll On/ Roll Off method is the most practical. The Roll On/ Roll Off method uses ramps to drive the vehicle onto the ship and the roll it off when the ship reaches Thailand. The vehicle will need to be completely empty except for floor mats, car jack, and a spare tire for this method.
