Car Shipping Keren
Keren is a city which was formerly referred to as Cheren and Sanhit. It’s the second largest city in the country of Eritrea and it has its location 91 kilometers from Asmara in a northwest direction. The elevation is approximately about 1390 meters above sea-level. The town spreads over a broad and vast basin and it is surrounded by huge mountains from each side and it serves as the capital of the Anseba region.
It is located in the Eastern parts of Africa. The transportation is rather hard in comparison with the U.S. Public transit and it may be hard for a foreigner to get by easily. If you are going to stay there for a long duration of time you should consider the option to transport your own persona vehicle which should be of great assistance.
There are two general means of exporting a car overseas and they are both sufficient enough. RO/RO shipping or Roll-on/Roll-off, as it is also referred to, is generally cheaper but the container shipping is considered to be safer for the vehicle.

Container shipping is overall more expensive than the RO/RO Shipping but it would also provide the owner of the car to store other belongings with the car at the same time which is rather convenient. You can also split a container with another shipper in order to cut back some expenses. The vehicles inside the container can also be filled with items whereas the vehicles transported with the RO/RO method should be empty at all costs. You can only include a car jack, spare tire and floor mats with this method of transportation.
