The agent will also explain the various ways that you can have your car shipped overseas. If you will only be shipping your car and nothing else will need shipped with it you will most likely want to use Roll-On Roll-Off Shipping. Also known as RoRo, this shipping allows for your car to ship directly from the United States to Trujillo, Peru in the most efficient way possible. If you need to ship anything when you ship the car, you can use a container to ship both the car as well as any personal items that need shipped with it.
