Ship Car To Kumasi

Car Shipping Kumasi

A large city in South Ghana, Kumasi is one of the largest metro areas in the country. Situated close to Lake Bosumtwi, it is the industrial commercial, and cultural center of the Ashanti region.

If you are moving here on an extended stay, you might prefer having your vehicle and that is why you must import your car from the USA. The first thing that you need to do is hire an experienced company that has experience shipping vehicles to Ghana and other countries in Africa. And that is where A1 Auto Transport service steps in. We have over 20 years of experience moving vehicles to African countries including Ghana and can help you at every step.

Price & Time Examples For Hauling

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground transit cost by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 motor in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive and loads can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Moving And Cargo Charges.

Depending upon your location in USA, the vehicle will need to be moved to the nearest port. You can drive the vehicle to the port or avail of the ‘door-to-port’ services that we offer. However, the transporting costs will add to the moving costs but you can avoid the hassle of driving it down to the port. Additionally, to calculate and provide you with the quote, we’ll need to factor in the freight charges, and for that, you will be required to select from container shipping or opt for RORO.

If you have a limited budget for hauling your ride, then Roll-on/Roll-Off works best. However, you are only allowed to haul your vehicle empty, so ensure that you remove the air conditioning gas and all your items so that they qualify for RORO delivery. Additionally, it turns out to be the cheapest as you only pay for the parking space used by the vehicle. You need 1/4th tank of fuel when you are shifting so that the vehicle can be driven on board.

However, if you are shifting an expensive vehicle, along with personal items or household goods you might need to choose container moving. You are allowed to pack a 20-foot or 40-foot container with all of these goods and seal it. It is opened at the last destination port under the supervision of the carrier.

Specific Vehicle Regulations In The Area.

The vehicle model, make, and year of manufacture of the vehicle are important in Ghana. That is because the dimensions and length of the car are the basis of the relocating cost on the freight hauls. It is equally important to know that when you are shipping to Ghana, your vehicle has to be less than 10 years old as the Customs authorities in Ghana do not permit the hauling of vehicles above the age of 10 years. If you have an expensive vehicle, getting transit insurance can help. Though most moving services offer basic insurance, additional insurance on the luxury vehicle is advised.

Requirements For Dispatching The Vehicle.

As with any vehicle import, it is necessary to have the right documents and other paperwork in order so that the shifting is considered as per procedure at any of the Ports at Tema, Accra, or Takoradi. To start with, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service requires that proof of ownership and legal purchase of the vehicle is provided. You are required to submit the Purchase invoice for the vehicle.

It is essential that there are no liens on the vehicle or you have a notarized authorization from the lien holder that it is agreeable to export the vehicle. However, the vehicle should be in your name as proof of ownership can easily be proven. Thus, current registration and title deeds have to be submitted to the U.S. Customs and the Customs Department in Ghana. Other essential documents include:

• Proof of insurance.
• Driver license.
• Registration of the vehicle.
• Bill of Lading.
• Emission standard certificates.
• Roadworthiness test clearances.

All port taxes need to be cleared before they can clear Ghana’s customs. However, your repositioning service will be able to provide you with a timeline for delivery and the total cost associated with moving your vehicle.
