Our Inland Towing Calculator helps estimate the transportation cost of moving a vehicle from an auction yard to a nearby port for international shipping.
After your vehicle arrives at the port, you will need to choose an ocean shipping method. The two most common options are RORO and Container Shipping.
Roll On Roll Off shipping allows vehicles to be driven directly onto the vessel and secured for transport. Once the ship reaches its destination, the vehicle is driven off the vessel.
Container shipping places the vehicle inside a sealed shipping container before transport. This option provides additional protection and flexibility for a wider range of vehicles.
Before exporting a vehicle, buyers should understand inland towing, port selection, ocean freight, documents, and destination fees.
