Shipping Household / Shipping Personal Goods with a Vehicle

You pack all small items well in any good, clean boxes and wrap big items or furniture in moving blankets or plastic. You will need a 40' container for shipping a vehicle, furniture, and boxes of household/personal goods. A 20' container is applicable when you want to ship a vehicle and some boxes of household/personal goods.

 Depending on the size of your vehicle, whatever you can fit, including furniture, in the container is okay, but space will be limited in a 20' container. You can also pack belongings in the vehicle itself and the trunk of the vehicle.

There are 3 possible methods when shipping household / shipping personal goods with a vehicle

1. If applicable, a 20' or 40' container is delivered to your door, either live load container shipping or drop off shipping method, where you load and secure everything, including the vehicle, inside the container.

 The container stands about 4' (feet) above the ground on a chassis. So, you will need to hire a flat bed towing truck to bring the vehicle on a level with the container, push the vehicle inside the container, block the tires of the vehicle, and lastly strap the vehicle down in the container so it will not move around. Of course, there can be no gas in the vehicle. The gas level has to be less than 1/8 a tank of gas and the battery must be disconnected. When you are finished, the container will be returned to the shipping terminal .

2. If applicable, a 40' container (20' container not applicable) is delivered to your door, either live load container shipping or drop off shipping method, where you load and secure your furniture and boxes of household/personal goods within the container, leaving room for your vehicle (bumper to bumper), plus a couple of extra feet. Once that is finished, the container will be picked up and brought to the closest receiving warehouse to you.

 You will also deliver your vehicle to this receiving warehouse. We will then load and secure your vehicle into the container with your household/personal goods - previously loaded by you, and deliver the container to the shipping terminal. Also, the gas level has to be less than 1/8 a tank of gas.

We offer you the choice of container shipping, which will give you the security of having your vehicle travel inside a sealed, metal container if you prefer a more individualized way to ship your vehicle. Inside a locked container, your vehicle will stay which will only be opened once it has reached the destination country. You can opt to cover your car with full Marine Insurance to ensure total protection and peace of mind in shipping automobile.
