Car Shipping Chimbote
Chimbote is the largest city in the Ancash region in Peru and is the Santa Province’s capital. It is approximately 130 kilometers from Trujillo and about 420 kilometers of the capital city of Lima. It is also an important city as it serves as a transshipment junction in Peru.
If you intend on relocating to the city, you might want to get your personal vehicle with you. This is going to bring in tons of convenience but you would have to hire a professional shipping service such as A1 Auto Transport to help you out with this challenging task.

There are two different shipping methods for you to take your pick from. RORO or Roll-on/Roll-off as it’s commonly referred to, requires you to get your car driven on its own wheels on a shipping deck on the freight carrier. With this in mind, you have to get everything out but the floor mats, car jack, spare tire and an extra set of keys. The container shipping option is more appropriate if you have other belongings to be shipped and you want your car to be protected within an enclosed and sealed container.
