Shipping your auto to another place due to a move or due to an online sale can be a real challenge.
We all wish we could box our car and send it as is, but auto shipping is much more complex.
We can begin by going over domestic auto shipping including open air and enclosed trailers then we would talk about international auto transport using roll on / roll off and container services.
Finally we would give you the prep you need to do before shipping your vehicle, please read our guides on your left.
When sending your car across the country you have two main options – open air or closed trailer transport.
The most common method for domestic auto shipping is the open air trailer.
By choosing this option your vehicle would be securely placed on the trailer and driven to its new destination.
If you do not want to expose your vehicle to the elements from an open air trailer then you may consider choosing the closed trailer
With this option your vehicle would be placed on a trailer with a closed box area
Your auto would receive the best protection available but as you can imagine this is the pricier option.
Now that you know how to ship your car across the country lets look at the international moving.
Shipping your Auto to another country is much more complicated then shipping it domestically since your vehicle has to be transported by ship. there are some restrictions that you have to know about before your vehicle can set sail.
For example many countries would not allow you to bring autos that are more then 5 years old.
Another example is that some countries may restrict the size of the engine and the location of the steering wheel.
Once you know if you can ship your vehicle overseas you can decide between two options
1. Roll on / Roll off service
2. Container service.
Roll on roll off service which is cheaper and more common service.
Your auto would be rolled on or driven to the ship then it would be secure to the interior deck well protected from the whether.
When arriving to destination the vehicle would be rolled off or driven off the ship.
If you want your auto to be even more protected you can choose container service.
Inside the container the auto would be secure to wooden blocks to keep it from moving.
The container would then be loaded to the ship.
One last thing – finding the a auto transport to move your auto – That’s what we are here for.
