Although international shipping is usually complex and a long drawn process, A1 Auto Transport service ensures that there are no delays or hurdles in a safe transit of your vehicle. The import tax is about 53% on vehicle based on the insurance, cost of the vehicle and freight (CIF).

• Proof of ownership- passport, Social security card/driving license.

Options on shipping.

There are two ways of shipping your vehicle to Libreville, which includes Enclosed Container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-Off. However, you need to compare them to elect the right method. If you are shipping only a vehicle and have affixed budget, it is good to opt for RORO as you only pay for the space used by your car. There is a pre-designated parking bay on the huge deck where the vehicle will be driven to and secured. At the last port of destination, it will be driven off. But it will be exposed to the elements during transit and you have to remove all your personal belongings before it is shipped.

The other method, enclose container shipping is safer and offers higher protection to the vehicle but it is much more expensive. That is because your vehicle is safely enclosed in 20 feet or 40 feet container. You are allowed to keep your personal items within the same container. It is a preferred choice especially if you are shipping antique or super luxury vehicles.
