Ship Car To Prato

Car Shipping Prato

Prato is one of the largest cities in Italy with a population of more than 190,000 permanent residents. Many residents immigrate to the city each year from countries like China and the United States. With a large textile industry in the city, unemployment is low and people flock to the city for work. Once you’re living in the city you’re most likely going to need your own motor vehicle to easily navigate your daily outings to and from work or shopping. Rental cars are expensive and scarce in Prato and taxis will be very costly over time. Shipping your car from the United States to Prato can be accomplished easily with the services of a professional auto transport company. When you contact the shipper your customer service representative will be able to answer any questions you have and will be able to make suggestions and give you all of the information you will need to be able to ship your car overseas quickly, safely and affordably.

Types of Transport.

While you won’t be able to drive your car or travel overseas alongside of it, you will be able to choose from the best methods of transport in the automobile shipping industry for safe and dependable automobile shipping. The main types of automobile shipping are open or enclosed and these are the ways that you can choose from when shipping internationally:

• Roll On/Roll Off - Also called RORO for short, this method is a type of open automobile transport and hundreds of motor vehicles can be on one RORO ship at a time. The more cars scheduled for transport, the lower the price to the consumer. Cars are driven (rolled) on the ship for exit and then secured in place for travel, and then they are rolled (driven) off when the ship reaches the entry port in Prato, Italy. Most people use RORO when having a car shipped internationally as it is the fastest and least expensive form of transport by sea.
• Containerized – Containerized is a type of enclosed automobile shipping and each container can hold between one and two standard sized motor vehicles. As with RORO, cars are driven into the container for transport on a cargo ship and then driven out of the container when it reaches the port in Prato. While container shipping will cost more than RORO because you have to pay for the container usage, it is the best type of transport if you have a high end vehicle and need to make sure it is fully protected during travel by sea.
• Air Freight - Air freight is the fastest way to ship a motor vehicle internationally. Automobiles can easily be loaded onto a freight plane and flown directly to the cargo airport for delivery very fast. Air transport is also the most expensive way to ship a car but is the best way for those who have extremely expensive automobiles or those who may need their car in the least possible time.
