Ways to Move Automobile
To ship a vehicle, one must choose a method of shipment. There is the RO/RO method, container shipping, and air shipping. Some of these are reliable, but some cost much more than others. It is all about what is practical for you and your budget.
Shipping items in a container is a convenient way to transport more than just your household goods. This strategy also makes it possible to load the car with stuff. The expense of renting a container might be split with another person.
The cheapest method, RO/RO shipping, requires that the vehicle is empty, with a few exceptions. These exceptions include a car jack, a spare tire, and floor mats. The vehicle must be able to drive onto and off of the ship.
Not all ports accept RO/RO shipping, so if you select this method, make sure you are aware of which port your vehicle is being shipped to. The vehicle's owner must be present on the day it is due to arrive.
