What are options for Puerto Rico auto transport near me?

OPEN car shipping

The most common shipping method is open transport. This option is safe, reliable, and cost-effective as carriers with these trailers are widely available. While on an open trailer, your vehicle will be exposed to normal weather and road conditions which could lead to some accumulation of dirt during its journey. Once your vehicle is loaded onto the ship, it will be stored underneath the deck and be well protected while at sea.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Owners of classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles often choose enclosed transport for its added protection. In addition, enclosed transport may be required for vehicles with low ground clearance since they will likely need a hydraulic ramp or gate for loading and unloading. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Miami?

Yes. While your shipment is being transported on land, a cargo insurance policy of up to $100,000 is provided by the motor carrier. Once on the sea, the oceanic transporter assumes limited liability for damages. We suggest reviewing their terms & conditions and arranging for additional insurance prior to shipping if necessary.
The cheapest way to ship your vehicle to Puerto Rico is with port-to-port service. However, many customers find our door-to-port car shipping a more convenient option. We suggest open transport for the ground transportation portion of your car’s journey as it is the most cost-efficient method.
Puerto Rico collects an excise tax for vehicles shipped to the island. The amount depends on how much the vehicle is worth in Puerto Rico. This tax must be paid by the customer, not the car shipping company.
Customers can pay their excise tax at the port of San Juan. Complete the Official Excise Tax Document and prepare to pay in cash as credit cards may or may not be accepted.

When a vehicle is shipped to Puerto Rico from the mainland, no extra paperwork is required. However, when a vehicle is shipped from Puerto Rico to the mainland, owners must provide the following paperwork:

a. If the vehicle is financed or a lease, the drop-off party must have a letter from the lien holder releasing the vehicle for transportation to the mainland on official letterhead and this must be notarized. Note: All notarized letters will only be valid for up to 30 days from the issue stamp date.

b. For cars and trucks that are owned outright, a copy of the title and current registration must be with the vehicle for it to ship.

c. The owner listed on the title of the vehicle must be the shipper and they will be required to show a photo ID and proof of ownership.

d. If there are two owners listed on the title of the vehicle, both of the vehicle owners must be present with a photo ID or notarized consent from the owner who is not present.
