Methods of shipping.

At A1 Auto Transport, we ensure that you get the full quote of shipping your vehicle and that is why you will need to pick one of the two methods of shipping- Roll-on/Roll-Off and Container shipping. Based on the method you select; the associated freight charges and insurance on the vehicle, we will calculate the cost of shipping. You might be interested in knowing the details of the methods.

We recommend that if you have an expensive vehicle, select container shipping as it offers higher protection. In this the vehicle is secured inside the large 20 feet or 40 feet container and that protects it from incremental weather conditions. You are allowed to ship your household and personal items alongside the vehicle.

However, when you ship by RORO, there are some rules to adhere to which include shipping an empty vehicle, devoid of air conditioning as and personal items. It has to be steam cleaned before it is shipped. The vehicle is driven on board and driven off at the Port of Onne.
