What’s The Better Option for Car Shipping? – <\/strong>Car Shipping Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/i>If you ever need to move a car from one country to another, you’ll ask yourself the question: “What’s the better option for shipping my car?”<\/p>\n

The truth is there’s not a unique answer, the best option for you is the one that meets your needs. To help you we are going to present you the three existing options and you can evaluate what’s the best for your situation.<\/p>\n

Types of Transport Available: Ship vehicles using one of three methods\u2014ocean freight containers, roll-on-roll-off vessels, or air freight.<\/p>\n

Option 1: Containerized Shipping (by sea)<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are global rules for Containerized Car Shipping. They ensure proper blocking and bracing of the car in the container, with no more than six small cars in a standard 40′ container (yours and five others).<\/p>\n

Ensure a highly experienced packing professional handles this to avoid any damage to your car by Sea Freight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Option 2: Roll-on\/Roll-Off (RORO) (by sea)<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the RORO<\/a> process, the car goes into specialized vessels and is lashed down inside the ship.<\/p>\n

With RORO your car will be safe and ready to get to its destination.<\/p>\n

Rolling the car in and out is simpler than containerizing it, allowing port employees to handle the process and reducing costs by eliminating the need for specialized packing personnel.<\/p>\n

Option 3: Air Freight<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you are searching for fast car shipping, Air Freight<\/a> should be your choice.<\/p>\n

The car goes safely inside the cargo plane and gets to the final destination a lot faster than by sea. The costs are significantly higher, but that’s a cost-benefit relationship.<\/p>\n
