Methods of International Shipping.

When you need to have a motor vehicle shipped internationally to La Romana you will need to decide what type of overseas transport you will use. The total price to ship your car will be priced accordingly and will include the method of shipping you will use. For transport to La Romana you can use the following shipping methods:

• RORO- The most common type of international shipping available is RORO. Also known as roll-on roll off or open shipping, this method is easily accessed and used daily for millions of motor vehicles worldwide. Cars of all types are driven onto the carrier and securely strapped in place and then transported overseas. Once the car arrives at the port to La Romana it is easily driven off the ship and can be taken to the customs checkpoint quickly.RORO is the least expensive and fastest way to have a motor vehicle shipped overseas.
• Enclosed Shipping- Enclosed or container shipping provides a more secure way to ship a car internationally. Owners of classic and collectors cars use enclosed shipping to help make sure their automobiles are not susceptible to weather and sea water that they would be exposed to when using open transport like RORO shipping. Enclosed shipping has a higher price to ship than open carriers do because of the expense of the container for shipment, but if you are a classic owner or have a collectible motor vehicle, enclosed shipping is the best way to ship and will provide a more secure route of travel for your investment.

Before your automobile is shipped you will need to prepare it for travel. Your representative will give you details of what must be done prior to shipping to have your car ready. Some basic pointers to go by are to have your car empty and well cleaned. Check your fluid levels and your battery charge to make sure the car will be ready to drive when it arrives in La Romana, and disable any theft alarms to prevent them from being set off during transport.
