Shipping options.
Shipping occurs in two phases. To start with, we will take your car right from your doorstep to the domestic US port. From here, the second part of shipping will begin. You may choose any one of the two available methods:
- RORO Shipping is the cheaper of the options available to you where the car drives up the ramp to the ship and remains chained to the deck throughout the journey. The space your car occupies on the deck will determine the payment amount. Here you cannot keep personal things inside your vehicle during the length of the journey as it undergoes checks at the destination port.
- Container Shipping is the safer between the two available methods and as such ideal for transporting expensive cars. Two container sizes are available to the customers - one of 20 feet or 40 feet. Besides the vehicle, you can keep other household goods inside the container for transport. For keeping the expenses down you may share the container with others.
