Your car will be driven on board the ship and secured in the designated parking bay. When your vehicle reaches Port Louis, it will be driven off the ship and into the Customs clearance bay. This is a more affordable option. However, if you have an expensive or a vintage vehicle that needs to be shipped, it is best to consider Container shipment. This is more expensive but you are allowed to ship your personal goods along with the car within the same container. This is safer and devoid of chances of damage as the container is sealed.
