If you have questions regarding the safety of your car during transit, let a trusted car shipping services company such as EasyHaul<\/strong><\/a> help ensure a seamless transition of your prized possession. To help you get started, here is a step-by-step guide to make your international car shipping<\/strong><\/a> process as simple as ABC. Take a look.<\/p>\n

\"Shipping<\/p>\n

Step 1 – Choose a Shipping Method<\/strong>
\nThe first step to consider when shipping a car overseas is choosing a shipping method. You can ship your car across the oceans by choosing a method that suits your budget and requirements, with the most commonly sought options being Roll On Roll Off, also called RORO, and shipping containers.<\/p>\n

Roll On, Roll Off (RORO)<\/strong>
\nAlthough less common, RORO is a less expensive method to ship vehicles internationally. RORO can be used when a vehicle is fully functional. It is an ideal option to choose for new cars and ensure safe and timely delivery.<\/p>\n

Shipping Containers<\/strong>
\nUsing containers to ship your vehicle has many benefits. They are not only cost-effective and safer, but are also supported by certain automated capabilities that help ensure safe loading, transportation, and unloading of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Step 2 – Submit Documents<\/strong>
\nAfter choosing a method of shipping, you need to submit certain documents including:<\/p>\n

Personal Identification<\/strong>
\nSubmit two copies of government-issued identification such as a driver\u2019s license and passport.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Title<\/strong>
\nAlong with personal IDs, one copy of the vehicle title is required for booking, and the original will go along with the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Proof of Ownership<\/strong>
\nRecently purchased vehicles require a bill of sale. If a vehicle is currently financed, submit a copy of the title and a copy of the lien authorization, both attested by the lien holder.<\/p>\n

Step 3 – Inspect the Vehicle<\/strong>
\nWhen shipping a car overseas, it is important to perform a thorough inspection. Maintain your own vehicle inspection report and take pictures of pre-existing damages, if any. You can also get your vehicle inspected and checked by an auto service professional before handing it over to the car shipping company.<\/p>\n

Step 4 – Choose a Payment Method<\/strong>
\nAfter submitting the documents, now it\u2019s time to pay for your shipping order, which can be done using a credit or debit card or a wire transfer. If you pay with a bank wire transfer, remember to email a copy of the receipt to the car shipping service provider to inform them that you have made the payment.<\/p>\n

Step 5 – Prepare the Vehicle for Shipping<\/strong>
\nLast but not the least, once everything is done, prepare your car for transportation before handing it over to a car transport service provider. Wash the exterior, check for any interior damage, empty the fuel tank, disable alarm systems, and remove all add-on and custom accessories.<\/p>\n
