Car Shipping Delmas
Delmas is a major center for industry and commercialized business in Haiti. When it comes to public transportation in Haiti, there is an abundance of moto-taxis to get you where you need to go. The moto-taxis are low cost forms of transportation and will get you to your destination very fast, but using them can be quite dangerous. Risking your life to drive four blocks makes little sense. Importing your own personal car to the city for the duration of your stay, whether temporarily or permanently, will allow you to travel safely and just as efficiently as taking a moto-taxi or other form of public transportation. You need to learn the roadways in Delmas. There are two main roads in Delmas, the Autoroute de Delmas that runs adjacent to the local secondary roads, and the Boulevard de Toussaint Louverture that runs from the Autoroute de Delmas to the Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the busiest airport in all of Haiti. To have your automobile shipped to Delmas, you will need to hire a professional automobile transport company experienced with international auto shipping
