Additionally, if you are looking for a quote, it is important to decide on the method of shipping that you prefer. You can choose between RORO and container shipping. If you are on a tight budget, RORO is the best option. Your car is driven onto the ship deck and secured while there are limitations and restrictions on only shipping an empty car, devoid of any personal belongings. However, this is not the case with container shipping wherein you can secure your car and put household goods alongside in the 20 or 40 feet containers.
