Things to Consider

You are going to need to make certain preparations before your vehicle is transported. You need to remove the air conditioning bags and make sure that there is only ¼ of a gas tank full with no personal belongings. If you want to make sure that your vehicle is actually eligible for the shipping, you might want to check with the Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.

There are also two shipping methods that you can choose from and they include:

• RORO: The majority of the people are usually going to go with this method as it’s more affordable and quicker. The car that you want to ship is driven on a specific freight carrier and secured on a special deck. The car is driven off as soon as it reaches the destination port. Your vehicle is left exposed to the elements throughout the entire time.
• Container Shipping: You are also capable of choosing between a 20ft or 40ft container for your needs. This is going to ensure that your vehicle is transported safely and it doesn’t get a scratch on it. Of course, there are far more check points and as such this particular process is more expensive. It’s, however, also more reliable and secure.
