If you need to get a free quote from our company, we would have to select the best shipping option for you. You can choose between Roll on/Roll off (RORO) as well as Container Shipping. You can also go for Air shipping but it’s very expensive. If you are on a tight budget then RORO is your obvious choice. You have to remove all personal items from your vehicle. It is important that the alarms are disabled, fuel is only quarter of the tank and air conditioning gas is completely removed. The car has to be cleaned from inside so that it is not quarantined. Though there are some limitations in Roll-on/Roll-Off shipping but it is the cheapest method to ship your vehicle overseas.
However, if you need to ship a more expensive vehicle or other personal goods, you should go for Container Shipping but it’s a bit more expensive. You have a choice of picking a 20 feet or 40 feet metal container and put your vehicle along with other goods and seal it.
