Shipping Car to Nigeria
Shipping a car to Nigeria Tin Can Island from USA is relatively simple to do. Once the year make and model of the vehicle is known, a quote can be requested from the Freight Forwarder who will respond with a quote indicating the Ocean Freight Charge and all other relevant information to legally export the vehicle to Nigeria. There are various ports to ship from in the US. There are container ports and roll on roll of ports. Roll on Roll off is far more popular to Nigeria as it is cheaper and the sailings are usually quicker.
This makes it relatively more affordable for customers to purchase their vehicles at most states in the USA and have them trucked at reasonable prices to the port. What this means is if you need us to meet with you, or the designated person, to pick up your car, we can arrange it. Also, if the customer is close to the port, he has the option of delivering the vehicle himself.
