Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get My Vehicle to the Port for Shipping to Latin America?

Luckily, we give you two helpful options: do you want to bring the car to the port, or would you prefer we come to to get it from you?

Open and Enclosed Auto Shipping

If you want us to get it, truck drivers will pick up the vehicle from you for transport to the destination port for shipping to Latin America. We can help you narrow down your choices between open and enclosed auto shipping.

Open Auto Shipping – The most common type of car shipping method we offer, this also happens to be the least expensive and a safe and cost-effective method if you want to ship vehicles like sedans and minivans to Latin America.

Our transport trucks have the capacity to carry up to nine or 10 cars at a time, or as few as five cars. The transport truck driver will load and unload vehicles as he makes his way along his trucking route. Each transport truck is filled to capacity, thereby lowering the overall shipping costs.

Enclosed Auto Shipping – This method is more expensive but a good choice when transporting luxury, exotic, specialty, or vintage cars. While it does cost more, your risk is reduced, as the vehicle is not exposed to the elements during transport. It’s shipped along with two other vehicles and, using a special ramp or lift-gate, is carefully placed on the truck. Got extra in the budget? Select this option for peace of mind.

Should I Get Marine Insurance?

We think so. It’s always in your best interests to protect your investment. As a result, we highly recommend buying the optional marine insurance. We provide FULL COVERAGE Marine Insurance against Loss or Damage from the time your car is loaded onto the ship, the cost of which is 1.75% of the value you wish to insure the car for.

If you can’t afford to pay outright for any repairs, damage or loss to your vehicle, you should think ahead and buy the Marine Insurance. The chance of something bad happening is very rare, where the only time it would pose a real issue being during hurricane season from June till November.
