Advantages of importing a car from Miami
Importing a car from Miami has several advantages you shouldn’t miss:

Shipping from Miami: what are the costs?
The cost of importing a car from Miami depends on several factors:
- Type of shipment: There are different options for car transport: container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) transport. With container shipping, your car is placed in a secure container, while Ro-Ro transport means the car is placed on a special car transport deck.
- Container shipping: This often involves lower costs and offers various options such as Economic Class, Royal Class, and Special Class.
