Driving in Senegal.

Senegal has a lot and properly working roadways, unlike many countries which surround it. There are national roads, highways and regional ones. The majority of the publicly accessed roads are paved and it’s quite easy to go from one place to another. However, you have to adhere by the local rules and regulations.

Transporting your vehicle to Senegal.

There are three different shipping methods but the Ro/Ro and the container shipping are usually the overly preferred choices. The least used one is air shipping, simply because it’s very expensive and not many can actually afford it. There are several things that would have an effect on the price of the shipping to the Senegal. The door-to-port or the port-to-port service is going to be one of them. The shipping choice is another one. For instance, choosing to go with a private container is going to be a lot more expensive than the regular RO/RO method.

In Roll-On/Roll-Off method, your car would be driven on a shipping deck on its own wheels and exposed to the elements. However, there are also a few limitations that you’d need to take into consideration if you go for Ro/Ro shipping:

• You have to completely empty the car of belongings.
• Remove the gas of the air conditioner.
• Keep only ¼ of a tank full.
• Leave nothing but the floor mats, spare keys, car jack and spare tire.
• Steam clean the car.

Even though container shipping is going to cost you more it certainly offers a lot of value for the money you are paying. Right off the bat, you’d be able to ship other personal belongings, which is incredibly beneficial. You can also choose between 20ft and 40ft container sizes based on your personal preference.
