Select an Appropriate Method for Vehicle Shipping
In international shipping, there are two main methods offered: via containers and roll on/roll off (RoRo). Knowing the distinguishing features of each will help you make a decision influenced by cost and level of safety.
Shipping with containers means that the customer’s vehicle will be kept in a safe container, either alone or with other cars. This gives protection from both weather and damage, so it is recommended for expensive, luxury, or classic cars.
In RoRo shipping, the customer’s vehicle is driven onto a special boat where it is locked up in place. This is cheaper than container shipping but only useable for cars that can be driven.
