What Puerto Rico car shipping choices are available near me?
Open Vehicle Transport
Open transport is the most frequently used method due to its affordability and wide availability. It’s a safe and dependable option, though your car will be exposed to road debris and weather during transit, which might result in some dirt buildup. Once aboard the ship, the vehicle is kept below deck for protection during the ocean voyage.
Enclosed Vehicle Transport
For high-value, luxury, or classic vehicles, enclosed transport is preferred because it offers greater shielding. This method is also ideal for cars with low ground clearance, which may require a hydraulic lift for safe loading and unloading. It protects against both road hazards and weather, making it a more secure choice overall.

All vehicles must be registered in Puerto Rico if you're a resident. Start this process at the Department of Driver Services.
If you're moving permanently, research Puerto Rico’s real estate trends and home-buying tips.
Remove any toll tags or transponders before transport—otherwise, you could be charged for tolls during shipping.
To drive on toll roads in Puerto Rico, you’ll need an Autoexpreso—an electronic toll payment system.
