Different Methods Used to Transport a Vehicle Overseas.
- Roll On, Roll Off Method- This method of transportation is the most convenient type of transportation and most cost effective. The vehicle must have a full battery charge so customs agents can roll the vehicles on and off of the vessel. Shippers must remove any household items including cell phones, laptops and fax machines.
- Container Shipping- This option is more expensive, but it is much safer because it is protected against the elements. Shippers are permitted to load other household items with the car, but they must produce a legible packing list and follow a packing order. The car and all other items must be secure to avoid damages while the container is in transit.
