Shipping Methods.

You can choose between three different shipping methods.

• Air Shipping Is the first one but this is overly expensive and not a lot of people can afford it. In any case, it’s the most convenient and fast way to go.
• Ro-Ro Shipping is by-far the most commonly used as it’s the cheapest. However, your car would be exposed to the elements as it’s driven on its wheels on a shipping deck and fastened in place there. You can’t ship any additional items and you have to make sure the vehicle is completely empty with nothing but its car jack, floor mats and spare tire in it.
• Container shipping is the third option and it’s offering a lot of value even though it’s more expensive than the Ro-Ro shipping. You can ship additional items and you can choose between 20ft and 40ft containers based on your particular needs. You can also share the container in order to split the cost in half.

A1 Auto Transport agents will advise you regarding the most appropriate shipping method and you can also arrange them to pick up your car at the port and deliver it to your home if you won’t be able to be there personally. You can get a lot of valuable information by contacting the Embassy of Sierra Leone in Washington, DC. They are going to provide you with a helping hand regarding adhering to regulations.
