The Best Ways to Deliver a Vehicle to the Area

When people ship a vehicle internationally, they usually choose between Ro-Ro and Container Cargo. Freight with Ro-Ro or Roll-On Roll-Off Cargo is the most common way to ship a vehicle internationally. Vehicles are driven onto a ship and securely parked for the overseas voyage. No personal belongings are allowed to ship inside of the vehicle when shipping by Ro-Ro. If you will need to ship personal items as well as your vehicle the best option will be to use a container as your vehicle as well as household goods and personal items may be loaded inside of the container to ship with the vehicle. Many people prefer to utilize one container for their vehicle and a separate container for personal belongings, as customs checks can often take longer for vehicle clearance than household goods and personal items. Your agent will assist you with determining the most effective way to transport your vehicle and any personal items that you may need to ship as well.
