Methods of shipping cars to Peru
We offer both a drop off service at one of many departure ports in the U.S. as well as inland trucking throughout the U.S. to pick up your vehicle at your door and bring it to the port for you.
When it comes to the types of ocean shipping for vehicles, you can either choose private container-based shipping or RORO shipping, which stands for roll-on, roll-off. Container shipping involves the vehicle being locked in a private 20 foot container for safety or a shared 40 foot container. For RORO shipping, the vehicle would be driven on and off the ship through a ramp and be stored below deck. RORO is usually the least expensive ocean transport option. Container shipping tends to be more expensive as it offers the most security. Other factors that determine the final cost include the time of the year you would like to have your vehicle shipped in, as well as the size and weight of the vehicle, and whether you pick your car at the port or would like inland trucking to your final destination.
