This will help them to travel more leisurely once there and to avoid any further language and currency barriers as well.

What Are My Options for Vehicle Shipment?

There are a few ways to have a vehicle shipped over to Korea. Two of these shipment forms are by boat, while one of them is by air. Air shipping tends to be way out of the price range for most people and is, therefore, rarely ever used. Below, you will find descriptions of the other two vehicle shipment methods.

RO/RO shipping is a method of shipment that requires the vehicle to be completely empty except for floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire at the time of its shipment. The vehicle is then driven onto and off of the ship. While this is the least expensive method of vehicle shipment, it is not accepted by all ports. Make sure that there is a port close enough to your new place of residence that accepts this form of shipment.

Container hauling is a method of shipment that will allow the automobile's owner to ship other belongings over with the vehicle. The automobile and the container can both be filled with property. Korean Customs must accept the items. Containers come in two sizes, so select the best to suit your needs. You may also want to consider sharing the container with another individual. This will lessen the cost of shipment.

The RoRo, LoLo, and flat rack transport methods that we offer are all open-air services.

LoLo shipping is for inoperable vehicles and crated equipment that must be lifted onto the boat, while the flat rack is a more secure open-air service. Container shipping is the only enclosed service but it is only available to those with heavy equipment small enough to fit into a 40ft container.
