You only have to pay for the parking bay. The car is driven on and off the ship, using own set of wheels. Due to the low cost of this method, it is the most common way of shipping worldwide.

You can hire shipping containers of 20 feet or 40 feet to put your car and other items that you want to move to Nicaragua.
