Methods of Moving a Vehicle
Few methods of moving a vehicle are available, but two are certain to do the trick and less costly than other methods. Container and RO/RO shipping are the most popular choices.
- RO/RO shipping is the cheapest shipping method that requires the vehicle to roll on and off the ship. The vehicle must be empty with a few exceptions.
- When it comes to shipping containers customers have a few options. The vehicle will be enclosed in the container and any personal effects allowed by Guyana Customs may be placed within. Cargo can be stored in the unused portion of the container. It's costs can be cut in half if two persons share a container.
Air shipment is another method of vehicle shipment. However, its high price is almost impossible for most to pay.
