Starline can make arrangements for the transportation of your automobile or recreational vehicles.

If your vehicle is travelling with your personal effects it will depend on the size of your shipment and number of vehicles as to whether your automobile will travel in the same container as your goods or by itself. Regardless, your vehicle is properly strapped down, blocked in and padded to protect the vehicle. A detailed report on the condition of the vehicle (i.e. dents, scratches, rubs, paint condition, cracks, etc.) will be completed and signed by you and Starline prior to loading the vehicle.

At Starline we understand international documentation and can manage your export documents or the inbound customs clearance process for your international vehicle shipment.

When shipping a vehicle it will require that you do some preparation in advance. Following are general guidelines on what to do to prepare your vehicle for shipping.
