Shipment
When a vehicle is picked up from a port in the United States, the process tends to work very similar to a regular shipment. You will need a specialty driver to enter the port property, but as long as all your paperwork is in order and you are using a reputable company like Diesel Auto Express, then the shipment should go smooth. A booking # is usually all a driver will need to get a vehicle picked up from a port in the United States.
However, Exporting a vehicle requires a lot more documents to be collected, in order to have the vehicle dropped off at the port. Not only will you need a specialty driver to enter the port property, you will also need your booking number paperwork, that you will have to arrange with a international shipping agent prior to organizing your mainland shipment. You will need the title, as well as making sure your vehicle is completely empty before shipping and only 1/4 tank of gas. Exporting will also require payment in full upfront before the shipment can be scheduled, since once a vehicle leaves the states, there is not much we can do.
