Shipping Methods to Romania
- Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO). This is overly preferred and the most common method for shipping. The main reason for this is because it’s cheaper. However, this requires you to drive the car on the shipping deck on its own wheels. Afterwards, it’s going to be properly secured on the deck so that it doesn’t move throughout the transit process. This is the most convenient way for you to go, if you don’t need to ship anything else.
- Container Shipping. This is the more appropriate choice for people who have the necessity to ship other belongings alongside the car. It’s more expensive. However, you can choose between a private container and a shared one, with the second option being significantly cheaper. The method is more expensive because there are more checkpoints and procedures that have to be taken care of.
