Freight Cargo Options

You can choose from two main methods of shipping; Roll On/ Roll Off method and container shipping. Air shipping is another option, however, it is so costly that most people choose one of the other two choices.

Roll On/ Roll Off shipping method is the best way to ship your vehicle a where. Your vehicle will be driven onto the deck of the ship by way of ramps. Once it's on the deck, it will be harnessed for safety. Once it reaches the port, it will be driven off the ship. You will only be charged for the parking bay spot that your vehicle takes up. However, there are regulations that must be considered:

• Only 1/4 tank of gas in the tank.
• The interior and exterior of your vehicle must be steam cleaned thoroughly.
• No personal items can be left inside.
• No air conditioning gas allowed.
• All alarms must be off or disabled.
• Leave one spare key, a tire, tire jack, and floor mats inside the vehicle.

Container shipping is another way to ship your vehicle to another country. It will be placed inside the container and placed on the ship. You can place all your personal items inside the car and the container to transport everything at once. This is the best choice if you are moving to the Ukraine.
