Ship Car To Mumbai

Car Shipping Mumbai

Mumbai, India is a multicultural melting pot and one of the most fascinating cities in India. With both a beautiful wilderness area as well as a spectacular industrial area, Mumbai offers the best of everything to all who visit or live in the city.

During the rainy season especially from June through September, many monsoons and tropical storms come through and cause roadway flooding. When you’re ready to import your car you will need to hire a professional international auto transport company. Your transport agent will need you to provide some upfront information such as your driver’s license, car title, social security number and automobile insurance certificate. You can get customs information on International Shipping Regulations by contacting the U.S. Customs and Border Agency.

• You must pay duty fees on the car that are usually higher than 100% of the car value
• All cars must be right hand driving cars only to be allowed for import

How to Relocate?

There are three ways to move your vehicle internationally and these are the choices you will have when shipping your car to Mumbai:

• Roro Shipping- The most time-efficient and cost-effective method of sending packages overseas. Your vehicle will be driven directly onto a freight ship at the departure port and off the shifting at the Mumbai customs terminal. From the United States to Mumbai, India, RORO shipping is the most efficient method of transporting automobiles across the globe.
• Container Shipping- When you relocate via container you’ll be able to load your personal items inside the container with your car. This way can take a little longer than Roro but if you need to relocate household goods in your move, you’ll be able to do so in a secure and economical way.
• Air Shipping- The fastest way to relocate a vehicle internationally. When you need your car or other household items in a quick amount of time, shifting by air is the way to go. Your car would be airlifted to the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and would process through customs immediately when you pick it up.
