Option for Shipping a Car to Guam
As Guam is an island–or, more accurately, a collection of small islands–the only way to transport a vehicle there is by ship or air freight.
- Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo service): This method applies to any vehicle that is in running condition. It involves simply driving your car onto the ship and then off when it arrives. After the car is loaded on the vessel, it is strapped to the deck to ensure it is properly fixed and does not move during transport.
- Container Shipping: Many owners of high-end vehicles prefer enclosed container shipping because it offers extra protection. Containers are loaded onto the vessel and then unloaded by a crane at their destination. Though more expensive, it is considered the safest and fastest shipping method.
- Terminal to Terminal Car Shipping: You can lower your transportation cost by driving your car to a nearby terminal. There, it will be inspected by our car shipping experts and transported to a terminal near your desired destination
- Door to Door transportation: It is an expensive but safest and most convenient car shipping method.
