It will be fastened down for the trip. Then it will be driven off once it reaches the Rwanda port. The only charge will be for the bay your vehicle is parked in.

Container shipping is a popular choice for those who want to ship personal items along with their vehicle. There are two container sizes to choose from; 20 foot and 40 foot containers.

This method will cost more money than the RORO method.

Vehicle Information.

Unlike some countries, there is no age limit on your vehicle but, all vehicles must be driven on the left hand side. When it comes to brand names, Toyota is the most common vehicle in Rwanda so repairing a Toyota would be more practical. Roadways in Rwanda are very rough. While some are paved, others are not so when driving, you will need to be careful. You may need to import an SUV or a 4-wheel drive instead of a car.
