Methods of shipment.
There are two most commonly used methods of transportation even though they are actually three of them. However, air transport is not preferred because it is rather expensive compared to the other means and not many people can actually afford it.
Shipping in a container it is incredibly convenient even though it may be more expensive than the RO/RO method. Container shipping allows the owner to ship other property and belongings along with the vehicle. You can even use the car to pack up baggage. You can choose from several container dimensions and you can share it with another person in order to reduce your expenses.
The Roll-On/Roll-Off method would require you to completely empty your car and drive it on the shipping deck. You can only keep your floor mats, car jack and spare tire inside. When you work with an experienced shipping company like A1 Auto Transport Company, we take care of the procedures and help you in deciding the best way to ship your car.
