Ship Car To Lamin

Car Shipping Lamin

The largest Gambian town in the Kombo North Western Division, Lamin is quite populated and is one of the larger market areas in the region.

With poor public transportation which is not only irregular but offers a lot for improvement, it is best to import your vehicle here, in case you are going to stay here temporarily or on an extended basis.

Additionally, with torrential rainfall during the monsoons, the unpaved roads become unnavigable and that is why it is better if you import a SUV or a 4-wheel drive here. Importing a vehicle is not as complex as you imagine, especially when you have A1 Auto Transport at your service to walk you through the procedures. The Port of Banjul accepts both RORO and containers hipping so you have the option of shipping as per your requirements.
