Shipping Process From the USA to Latin America

The process of shipping your car to Latin America begins with choosing how you want it shipped. Most customers choose to ship in a container because of current record low rates, and the incredible value of being able to load other parts or household goods inside the container. You can also make the choice of shipping your car via RoRo to South America.
