The Various Methods of Shipment
The various methods of vehicle shipment will depend on what suits your needs and your budget best. There are several ways to ship a vehicle and the options are reliable and safe.
RO/RO shipping is the roll on, roll off method. This means that the vehicle must be driven onto and off of the ship. There can be nothing in the vehicle but a spare tire, floor mats and a car jack. This is the least expensive method of vehicle shipment. Not all ports accept this method of shipping so make sure that there is a port nearby that will allow for your vehicle to be shipped this way.
Container shipping require the vehicle to be put inside a large container aboard a ship. This method will allow you to pack other belongings inside of the vehicle as well as in the container itself. This method of shipment is a little more costly than that of the RO/RO method, yet it can be shared with another individual so that the cost can be split between the two. Make sure that all of the possessions being shipped are allowed by Mexican Customs.
Air shipping is another method that can be used to ship vehicles. However, this method is so costly that it might not be affordable. Many aren't able to use this method due to its higher cost.
