Vehicle Shipping, Door to Port and Port to Port
Auto shipping is the transport of cars and other vehicles between cities, ports, and countries — by road, by container, and by vessel — with the documentation and customs clearance an international move requires. TRT ships vehicles for individuals, dealerships, and businesses: people relocating, sellers moving a car overseas, and companies transporting fleets for commercial purposes. You choose how much of the journey we manage — full door-to-door delivery, door-to-port, or port-to-port — and our team handles the rest, from documentation and insurance guidance to secure loading and unloading at the port.
How Vehicle Shipping Works
Step 1 — Quote and shipping plan
Start with the vehicle, the pickup point, and the destination. From those details we confirm the right option for your shipment — door-to-door, door-to-port, or port-to-port — and the right method, enclosed container or RORO, and provide a clear, detailed quote before anything moves.
Step 2 — Documentation and customs
International vehicle shipping runs on paperwork. We guide you through the documentation and handle customs clearance and regulatory compliance on your behalf, so your vehicle moves across borders without delays or unexpected costs.
Step 3 — Pickup and port drayage
Your vehicle is picked up and moved to the port. Where the route runs through our own hubs, TRT’s drayage team handles the port leg at Port Newark-Elizabeth and the Port of Savannah, and the vehicle can be staged or stored in TRT warehousing until its vessel sails.
Step 4 — Loading and ocean transport
At the port, the vehicle is loaded using proven techniques — secured inside an enclosed container, or driven or rolled onto the vessel for RORO shipping — and moves under our ocean freight coordination. Every shipment is carefully tracked, giving you full visibility from pickup to delivery.
Step 5 — Arrival, clearance and delivery
At destination, we coordinate customs clearance and the final leg — delivery to the port for collection, or door-to-door delivery to the final address — so the vehicle arrives safely, on schedule, and in excellent condition.
Vehicles We Ship
Our experienced staff handles every type of vehicle shipment with precision and care:
- Standard cars and SUVs — everyday vehicles for relocations, purchases, and overseas sales
- Motorcycles — secured and protected for container or vessel transport
- RVs — large recreational vehicles that need planned loading and the right method
- Luxury vehicles — high-value cars handled with extra care and maximum protection
- Specialty equipment — vehicle-type equipment and commercial units outside standard sizes
- Fleets and bulk shipments — multiple vehicles coordinated for dealerships and businesses
- Boats and yachts — marine vessels received, prepared, stored, and shipped as part of TRT’s cargo services
Shipping Methods: Enclosed Container and RORO
Enclosed container shipping
Your vehicle is loaded and secured inside a container, protected from weather, exposure, and contact throughout the voyage. It is the method we recommend when maximum protection matters most — for luxury vehicles, high-value cars, and vehicles traveling with other cargo in the same shipment.
RORO (roll-on/roll-off) shipping
With RORO, the vehicle is driven or rolled directly onto and off the vessel using specialized loading techniques, minimizing handling along the way. It is an efficient, secure solution for vehicles, machinery, and oversized equipment — a method TRT also coordinates through our ocean freight services.
Ports, Drayage and Warehousing Under One Roof
A vehicle shipment is only as smooth as its port legs — and at TRT those legs are ours. Vehicle shipping is coordinated with port drayage and warehousing in Newark and Savannah: our drayage services cover container and vehicle movements at Port Newark-Elizabeth and the Port of Savannah, and vehicles can wait in secure TRT warehousing before loading or after arrival, with 24/7 security and surveillance while they are with us. One company plans the pickup, the port handling, the ocean leg, and the delivery — so your vehicle is never handed off between strangers mid-shipment.
What Affects the Cost of Vehicle Shipping
The two decisions that shape the cost most are the shipping method and the route. Enclosed container shipping costs more than RORO because the container, the securing, and the protection carry a higher handling cost. International routes with longer ocean legs cost more than domestic moves, and additional needs — warehousing before sailing, documentation support, or extra handling for oversized vehicles — add to the total. One way to keep costs predictable is to ship with a company that handles the whole journey: every handoff between separate vendors is a markup, while a single accountable team quotes one price for the complete move.
What to Send Us for a Vehicle Shipping Quote
To quote your vehicle shipment accurately, we need five details:
- What the vehicle is — make, model, year, and dimensions if it is oversized
- Pickup and destination points, including whether you need door-to-door or port-to-port
- When the vehicle needs to ship or arrive
- Preferred method — enclosed container or RORO
- Any special requirements, such as warehousing before sailing or after arrival
Start with the TRT contact page — call us at +1 973 344 7100 ext 221, or email drayage@usatrt.com — and a vehicle-shipping specialist will walk you through the options and provide a clear quote for your shipment.
Who Ships Vehicles With TRT
TRT moves vehicles for many kinds of shippers, and each gets the same handled-with-care treatment. Individuals relocating or selling a car overseas ship with us for a single-vehicle move handled start to finish. Dealerships use our bulk-shipment coordination to move multiple vehicles at once. And businesses — from construction firms to fleet operators — rely on us for commercial vehicle and specialty-equipment moves where the cargo is bigger, heavier, or more valuable than a standard car. Whatever your situation, the process is the same: one team, one quote, one point of contact from pickup to delivery.
Auto Shipping FAQs
What types of vehicles can TRT ship?
TRT ships standard cars and SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, luxury vehicles, specialty equipment, fleets and bulk shipments, and boats and yachts. From a single car relocation to multi-vehicle commercial moves, we handle shipments of all sizes with expert care.
What shipping options does TRT offer for vehicles?
We offer door-to-door, door-to-port, and port-to-port shipping, using enclosed container shipping or RORO (roll-on/roll-off) as the ocean method. Every shipment includes documentation support, customs clearance guidance, and secure port handling at Newark and Savannah.
What is RORO shipping?
RORO — roll-on/roll-off — is a shipping method where the vehicle is driven or rolled directly onto and off the vessel, minimizing handling along the way. It is an efficient, secure solution for cars, machinery, and oversized equipment moving by sea.
Should I choose an enclosed container or RORO for my vehicle?
Choose an enclosed container when maximum protection matters most — for luxury or high-value vehicles, or vehicles traveling with other cargo. Choose RORO for an efficient, secure ocean leg where the vehicle can be rolled on and off the vessel with minimal handling. Our specialists will recommend the right method once we know your vehicle and route.
Does TRT handle customs and documentation for international vehicle shipping?
Yes. International vehicle shipping runs on paperwork, and we guide you through every document, handling customs clearance and regulatory compliance on your behalf so your vehicle moves across borders without delays or unexpected costs.
Can TRT pick up my vehicle and store it before it ships?
