International auto shipping costs more than auto transport across states. Meanwhile, the cost of shipping internationally through the port of Riverside County, CA, will depend on the method of transportation you choose – either RORO shipping or Container shipping. Presently, RORO is not available at the ports.

Roll-on, Roll-off (RORO) Auto-shipping

This is used to ship wheeled cargo such as cars. This method makes it easy to drive your vehicle on and off the ship; hence, it only works best for operable vehicles. RORO is also best for vehicles that cannot fit into a regular container.

It is the most cost-effective shipping method and has a very simple loading process. Hence, it is an affordable and fast means of shipping vehicles. However, RORO is not available in all ports.

Containerized Auto Shipping

It allows your vehicle to be shipped in containers. This is an expensive method of shipping your car, but you can save costs by sharing the container with other cars going to your destination. When you share with other vehicles (usually 4 or 6), they are loaded into the container to be shipped at once at the auto transport depot. The shipping method is referred to as Shared Container Shipping.

Conversely, it is referred to as Exclusive Container shipping when you do not share a container with any other car. This shipping method allows the shipper (customer) to ship their personal properties with the vehicle.

Container shipping protects your vehicle from harsh weather conditions and debris. So, your vehicle is kept in perfect condition throughout shipping. It is best for shipping inoperable vehicles.

To avoid additional fees, such as storage fees and delays at the port, make sure to have arranged for a truck driver to ship your vehicle to your destination. We can arrange for a reliable truck driver to pick up your car and transport it to your destination once it arrives at the Riverside Municipal Airport in Riverside, CA, or any other Port near Riverside County, CA. 

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to Riverside County, CA?

The cost of transporting your automobile to Riverside County, CA, varies widely depending on where it is dropped off and several other considerations. Inoperable cars will cost extra since expert loading and unloading are required. Other elements that impact auto transport direct pricing include:

• Vehicle Size and Weight

The size of your vehicle (length, height, and weight) greatly impacts shipping costs. Therefore, the heavier or larger the car, the greater the cost.  There is a maximum permitted weight and height for trailers, so carriers may charge more for heavier vehicles to make up for the space they occupy. For instance, shipping a modified pickup truck will definitely cost more than a compact car. The pickup truck may not fit easily into the regular auto transport enclosed trailers and may require a flatbed truck to transport.

• Type of Transport

There are two kinds of auto transport – enclosed carrier and open carrier. Given your chosen method, the cost of shipping will vary. Nevertheless, the open carrier is the most cost-effective as it shares a trailer with about nine cars. With this method, there are chances that your car will be affected by debris during shipment, although very minimal.

The enclosed carrier offers maximum protection to your vehicle against arid weather conditions and debris. Since fewer cars are in the enclosed carrier, auto transport cost is always higher.

• Distance Between Destination and Pickup Locations

The distance to be traveled by the carrier while transporting your vehicle also impacts price. Traveling longer distances cost the carrier more in terms of gas fees and trucker’s pay. So, these costs will determine how much they will charge for shipping your vehicle to your destination.

• Year and Model

Shipping a luxury or classic car will cost more than a regular vehicle because it will require additional attention and expertise, especially during loading and unloading. So, when calculating shipping costs, carriers consider the type of car you want to ship.
