- Passport.
- Original title.

Furthermore, you can choose between the typical RORO and Container shipping methods which are pretty convenient and cheaper than air based transport. The RORO method would require you to clean your vehicle inside and out, disable alarms and get rid of all personal belongings within it. The vehicle will be driven on the ship’s deck and secured along with other vehicles. License plates need to be removed so that chances of theft are reduced. When it reaches Fiji, the car will be driven down using its own wheels.
In Enclosed container shipping, you can choose between a 20ft and a 40ft container as per your own convenience. It is more expensive as exclusivity and higher security is offered. Additionally, you are allowed to ship your personal belongings along with the vehicle. For any further assistance and information you can always contact the Embassy of Fiji in Washington, DC today.
