Is RoRo (roll on roll of) the best choice for me?

*Roll on Roll off services are cost effective and cheaper for you to clear out of many destination ports. All vehicles must run and drive and personal effects are not allowed to be placed inside the vehicles. Vehciles can be picked up at strategic locations and taken directly to the port as long as the title is ready and available on hand. This method is Cheaper for those of you who plan on shipping 1 or 2 cars or dont want to pay ridiculous prices for clearing Containers.

Up to 4 vehicles can be loaded inside 1 container and Personal effects are allowed. You can chose different sizes 20FT, 40FT and 40HC. 20ft containers are usually expensive u should not be paying more than $3500 for a 20 ft Container (Know your Prices)

3. Most people in Nigeria are working with someone in the United States to purchase vehicles on their behalf. Please note: For a vehicle to enter the port a Dock Receipt is required. If you are working with someone who is exporting vehicles for you and is telling you your car is sitting at the port and has not left yet for months?. Demand a copy of the STAMPED Dock Receipt! The stamped Dock Receipt with the date is your proof your vehicle has actually entered the port.

4. To avoid being robbed of your money for rebuilt cars always request a copy of the title after purchase to make sure the title is stamped clean, Salvage, or rebuilt. Some people are receiving stamped certified for destruction cars from the USA. And when a car is stamped Certified for Destruction it means it is illegal to drive in the United States but it can be exported were you might be the one driving a certified for destruction Vehicle and don't even know it. You can always do a Vin check too

5.When buying cars from Auctions please be aware that the title may not be ready that same day of winning the Auction! and you will be charged storage fee's after the grace period ends. Please note: if you buy vehicles from auctions try to purchase them closer to your freight forwarders warehouse so it can easily be transported their at prices such as $50 or $100 until your title is ready and your can can be exported. Most auctions charge $25 a day for storage and can sometimes take over a week for the title to be ready. You are already at $150 in 7 days and you still have to pay ground transportation fee's to the port. Try to Avoid these extra cost by buying closer to your freight forwarder! it can save you money!

Knowing just these minor things can save you loads of money.
