Prior to Shipping

Prior to shifting your vehicle make sure you have a finalized quote from your shipping agent that includes the total cost of shipping, pick-up and delivery and any fees they may have for cleaning the vehicle. Most international relocating companies will require you to have the car cleaned thoroughly for shipping by removing all personal items from the interior of the vehicle. There may also be exterior items that will need to be removed prior to shifting as well and your agent will determine if anything will need to be brought to your attention. If you will need to have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the exit port or picked up at the entry port in Hyderabad you will need to make arrangements with the transport agency to have that added onto your hauling fees. Keep in mind that even if you need transport for your car once it reaches Hyderabad you will need to be physically present when the car is unloaded and as it goes through customs for clearance. Once it has been cleared, you will be able to have it transported to your location.

How to Move to Hyderabad?

There are three ways that you can have your car moved to Hyderabad. The methods of international transport are as follows:

Roll-On Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) Ro-Ro shipping is the easiest and most efficient way to move a vehicle overseas. It simply means that your vehicle will be driven aboard the ship at the port of exit and then driven off at the exit port. The vehicle is secured on the deck of the ship by straps or brackets and by wooden feet to ensure safety from rolling. It is the preferred way to transport all motor vehicles internationally.

Container Shipping- Container shifting is great for those who need to ship personal items along with their vehicle. For a single car, you would normally use a 20-foot container and for 2 cars you would need a 40-foot container. If you have one car but need the extra space for personal items as well, a 40-foot container is advised. You may also be able to share a container with other people who may be relocating their car to the same destination

Air Cargo Shipping- If you have a classic or luxury car that you want to arrive quickly, then relocating by air is the best
