What You Should Know About International Car Shipping

A car is one of the most valuable properties that need careful planning during a relocation period

. This planning is more important when you are moving internationally. Planning your car shipment schedule in advance is more convenient for you and for the shipping company. You will want to arrange for your car's shipping at least a month earlier before your scheduled move and research on what you think is the most reliable car shipping company. Give them the exact dates and you will need to find out the location of the pick-up or delivery of your car.

Normally, there are three ways that you can use to ship vehicles internationally: R.O.R.O., roll on and roll off, where a car is driven, or rolled, on and off a vessel that carries big cargoes. High cube container which is a container with more than one loaded car, which makes it less expensive than the exclusive container Exclusive container is a transport that carries only one car at a time and is more suitable for shipping expensive, or custom, cars Provide all the necessary documents of your car. Shipping companies are aware of the rules and regulations of their destination country so it's best to let them guide you on the proper documents that will be needed. Have your insurance signed and ready to secure your car against damage during the shipping. Some insurance companies will require a special policy during transport. Others may not cover when you will be shipping the car internationally.

Don't leave any valuable things in your car while you are having it shipped. Check you car's tank, running condition, engine, and mileage and record everything on paper. You will also want to take photographs of the vehicle before you have it shipped. Do the same inspection once your car is delivered to you.

International car shipping companies have different ways of charging. Some require advance payment, down payment, credit card, cash, and/or checks. Car shipping quotes usually vary depending on size and destination. Also, shipping companies have a regular shipping route. However, if your destination doesn't attract much traffic, say, for remote countries and smaller ports, the cost is no lesser than the price of a small light car. The distance from the origin and the destination along with the weather, ship/truck condition, and port traffic will also affect the time it takes for delivery.
