Methods of Car Shipping from USA to UAE
Car Shipping Dubai – CSD , being one of the best car shipping companies in the world, offers several methods of exporting cars for you, each car shipping method with its own benefits and advantages. All 3 methods of export are applicable for car shipping from the USA to Dubai or any other Emirate of the UAE.
Car shipping by Air Freight
Car shipping by Air Freight is the quickest method of car shipping in our arsenal of International vehicle shipping services, so it is advisable to utilize this method for urgent car shipping needs with a tight deadline. However, it does tend to be comparatively more expensive than the other modes of car shipping.
This option of car shipping is available from anywhere to any destination, provided that there is an operational airport in either country, which the USA and the UAE certainly possess. We, at Car Shipping Dubai – CSD, pride ourselves in being one of the best in the world in this mode of auto transport. While expensive, this still remains a go to method of car shipping for many customers, especially from the USA to the UAE as it saves time and is highly secure.
We collaborate with all the major airports in the USA for this method of car shipping and we are able to deliver your vehicle to any of the major airports within the UAE. We have authorised agents from all the major airports in Dubai – UAE to handle your shipment and from the major airlines to the freight services, we have all necessary authorities onboard for the car shipping through air freight.
Car shipping in Containers
Car shipping in containers is the most common method of car shipping worldwide. We can either collect the vehicle from any address in the USA or you can deliver it yourself to a nominated depot and save some money as well. We can either ship it to the UAE from the USA through dedicated containers or consolidated containers.
Dedicated container, albeit more expensive, provides the car with its own container where you can use the rest of the space ideally for a reasonable number of personal effects and items to take from any country from the USA. This option provides you the luxury of space and better security as well. Apart from air freight, this can be considered the auto transport service that will give you and your car that ‘premium’ feeling.
A consolidated container is the more economical option with your car sharing the shipping journey from the USA to the UAE in the container with one or two more cars in it. 20 foot and 40 foot containers are available for both shipping options. In both methods of shipping, our loading team will securely strap your vehicle in the beginning at the departure port in the USA, for a safe shipping journey as it leaves off for the UAE. 30 days is the rough estimation of time taken for the car to be brought from the majority of the destination ports in the USA to the UAE.
Car shipping by Roll On-Roll Off (RoRo)
Ro–Ro ships are large car ferries with no passenger accommodation used commonly for car shipping. This method of car shipping is suitable for shipping anything containing wheels including any type of vehicle from heavy-duty tanks and trucks to motorcycles. This is also the most cost-effective method of car shipping of the lot. However, you would be mistaken to disregard this option as the ‘cheap car shipping option’ as the vehicles are all securely loaded onto the ship and are completely safe in the shipping journey from the USA to the UAE, even from the elements. However, It is advisable to remove all personal belongings and effects from the vehicle in the USA itself, apart from the key prior to shipping to avoid unwanted claims of lost possessions. Ro-Ro transport also on average takes around 30 days to be brought to the destination port in Dubai.
Among the frequent worldwide car shippers, Car shipping through Ro–Ro ships is known to be our specialty as we are the best in the industry in auto transport through this method. With our world class service and facilities and with our expert staff working around the clock, you can be rest assured that your car will leave from the USA and arrive at the destination on schedule and without a scratch.
