Shipping details to Poland.

After arrival in Krakow, proactively seek out information regarding the regulation and driving rules in Poland. Before shipping do a thorough cleaning of the inside of your car. Ideally go for steam cleaning. This will prevent quarantine at the port. Otherwise, the customs will send your car to cleaning services followed by a trip back to shipping facility. It is possible to bypass the lengthy procedures easily to ensure fast process of delivery with highly reduced chance of vehicular damage. There are two major shipping methods prevalent for importing your cars to Poland. These are:

• Roll on-Roll off Method: in this case, the car will get on board the deck of the ship on wheels. There the shipping agency will keep it chained for the remainder of the journey. Upon reaching the destination, it will again come down the ramp of the ship and travel to your home or anywhere else, you require. This is the cheaper method of the two where you cannot keep anything inside the vehicle.
• Container shipping method: one can transport vehicle in any one of the two different container sizes. These are 20 feet and 40 feet. Slightly expensive than the RORO, this is best suited for collectable and sophisticated vehicles. An added advantage of this method of transport is that you can keep additional things within for taking to Poland. You can either take the whole container or divide the space with another vehicle and share the costs as well.
