Ship Car To La Ceiba

Car Shipping La Ceiba

Each year, more than 500,000 people visit the beautiful city of La Ceiba on the northern coast of Honduras. Several thousand U.S. citizens temporarily or permanently relocate to the coastal town every year. While it may be one of the wettest cities in Honduras, it is also one of the most economically productive as well as eloquently scenic cities as well. La Ceiba is well known as the tourist capital of Honduras and has been very successful in bringing new business from around the world to the city annually. There are public buses as well as a large taxi system in La Ceiba, but that can be quite expensive when living in the city and having to hire a taxi daily for work, school or personal outings. The best thing to do is have your own personal car transported to the coastal city to be able to not only travel easily but to also be able to save money by not having the added expense of a daily taxi or public bus for transportation.

Also known as RORO transport this method allows a car to be driven onto a carrier, whether truck, boat or plane, and then secured in place for transport. RORO transport is an excellent choice for shipping the car or truck that you typically drive every day. RORO is an inexpensive way to have a car shipped as well as being one of the fastest types of transport locally or internationally. For simple and quick delivery service, RORO is the way to go.
• Enclosed Transport- When you have a luxury, classic or collector’s car you will most likely want to utilize enclosed transportation for your car. Enclosed carriers offer extra security and stability during shipment that assists with cutting out the risk of damage to the car that can be obtained during open transport from flying debris, animals and even severe weather while shipping. Enclosed transport will cost a little more than open transport, but for the added insurance of secure travel for your automobile, it is well worth the extra fee for the container used to carry the motor vehicle.

Your agent will walk you through each detail of your contract once you determine the type of shipping you will use for your auto transport. Your final quote will usually include the method of transport, shipping fees and details on your scheduled date of pick-up and delivery. If you have a classic or luxury car you may want to check the amount of insurance coverage provided to ensure that it covers the total value of your car.
