Public Transportation Warning!

While there has been an improvement to the road conditions, you will need to know that it is very seldom that you will see a street sign and many of the roads are still made of nothing but dirt or sparse gravel. There are also very few working traffic signals and people do not follow the right of way rules as they do in America. You will want to learn the traffic behaviors prior to driving, and will always want to drive cautiously in the city as traffic can be very unpredictable and chaotic. While Port-de-Paix has public transport, it is most definitely not the type that people are used to in the United States and other countries around the world. Moto-taxis and buses do run, but they are very unreliable sources for transportation. The Embassy of Haiti recommends that people, especially foreign visitors and new residents, do not use the public transport at all because it can be dangerous.

Modes of International Automobile Shipping

When shipping a motor vehicle to Port-au-Paix, the best route to take is by sea, although some will also ship by air as well. The most commonly used mode of international automobile shipping is an open shipping method called Roll/On Roll/Off, also known as RORO. This simple method of transport allows cars to be driven onto the ship, secured in place and then driven off the ship when it reaches the port for Port-au-Paix, Haiti. RORO is the lowest priced form of transport available for shipping cars and is used by millions each year. If you need to ship household goods or if you have an expensive luxury car, you may prefer to ship with a shipping container instead of using RORO which is an open form of transport. Shipping containers are sealed for extra protection during transport overseas, ensuring that your automobile and other items stay secure for the voyage.
