Amongst the different freight methods, RORO and Container shipping are the most favored and affordable ways to ship to Reunion Island. RORO or Roll-on/Roll-Off method is the cheapest way to ship and brings down the total cost of shipping as compared to Container shipping.

However, RORO shipping has limitations such as there can be no personal belongings within the car when it is shipped. You are required to clean the vehicle from inside, remove the air conditioning gas and keep only minimum gas in the tank. The vehicle is driven on the deck at the U.S port and driven off at Reunion Island. Conversely, in Container shipping, your vehicle is secured within a large 20 or 40 feet container and sealed. You are allowed to share the space and keep your household goods alongside. The added protection makes it more expensive method, but if you have an expensive vehicle or vintage cars to ship, this is better.
