Suitable vehicle positioning equipment.
Additional clearance checks.
Specialized wheel restraints.

Royal Shipping Lines provides reliable and cost-effective international RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping for luxury and premium vehicles from the USA to destinations worldwide. We coordinate overseas transportation for luxury sedans, premium SUVs, high-performance sports cars, and select exotic automobiles that meet ocean carrier requirements.
RoRo shipping is a practical alternative to container shipping for eligible luxury vehicles. Cars are driven directly onto specialized ocean vessels, secured on designated vehicle decks, and transported to the destination port.
Whether you are shipping a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, or another premium automobile, we coordinate nationwide vehicle pickup, inland transportation, port delivery, export documentation, U.S. Customs procedures, and international ocean freight.
Our services support private vehicle owners, luxury car dealerships, international buyers, collectors, and businesses exporting premium automobiles from the United States.
What Is RoRo Luxury Car Shipping?
RoRo stands for Roll-On/Roll-Off, a shipping method designed for vehicles and other rolling cargo.
Unlike container shipping, where vehicles are loaded and secured inside enclosed shipping containers, RoRo vehicles are driven directly onto specialized vessels through loading ramps.
Once onboard, vehicles are positioned on designated cargo decks and secured for ocean transportation.
At the destination port, authorized terminal personnel unload the vehicles using the vessel's designated ramps.
RoRo shipping is commonly used for:
Luxury passenger cars.
Premium sedans.
Luxury SUVs.
High-performance sports cars.
Executive and chauffeur vehicles.
Premium electric and hybrid vehicles, where permitted.
Commercial luxury vehicle exports.
RoRo shipping is generally recommended for standard luxury vehicles that are fully operational and meet carrier clearance requirements.
For extremely valuable supercars, rare collector vehicles, and automobiles with very low ground clearance, private container shipping is generally the preferred option.
Luxury & Premium Vehicle Brands We Ship
Royal Shipping Lines coordinates international RoRo shipping for eligible vehicles from leading luxury and premium manufacturers.
Mercedes-Benz: S-Class, E-Class, C-Class, G-Class, GLS, GLE, and AMG models.
BMW: 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X5, X6, X7, and M performance models.
Porsche: Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, 911, and other eligible models.

Selected Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, and other exotic sports cars may qualify for RoRo shipping when accepted by the ocean carrier.
Vehicle acceptance depends on ground clearance, dimensions, operating condition, destination, and vessel requirements.
Benefits of RoRo Shipping for Luxury Vehicles
RoRo transportation offers several advantages for eligible luxury and premium automobiles.
Cost-Effective Shipping: RoRo may cost less than booking a private shipping container.
Simplified Loading: Vehicles are driven directly onto the vessel without container loading.
Specialized Vehicle Vessels: RoRo ships are designed to transport passenger vehicles and other rolling cargo.
Regular Sailing Opportunities: Selected international routes offer scheduled RoRo vessel departures.
Multiple U.S. Departure Ports: Shipping may be available from major East Coast, Gulf Coast, and Florida ports.
Direct Port Delivery: Vehicles are transported to the designated RoRo terminal for export.
Professional Export Coordination: Documentation and shipping arrangements are handled before vessel departure.
RoRo shipping availability and pricing depend on the destination and ocean carrier.
RoRo vs. Container Shipping for Exotic & Luxury Cars
Choosing between RoRo and container shipping depends on the vehicle's value, specifications, and transportation requirements.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo is generally suitable for fully operational luxury sedans, premium SUVs, and standard high-performance vehicles.
Advantages include simplified vessel loading and potentially lower shipping costs.
However, vehicles must meet carrier operating requirements, and personal belongings are generally not permitted inside the vehicle.
Container Shipping
Container shipping is recommended for high-value exotic cars, rare collector automobiles, low-clearance supercars, and vehicles requiring dedicated enclosed transportation.
Private containers provide controlled loading arrangements and protection from direct weather exposure.
Container shipping may also accommodate certain non-running vehicles that cannot qualify for standard RoRo transportation.
For Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, and other extremely valuable exotic vehicles, Royal Shipping Lines generally recommends private container shipping.
Low-Clearance Sports Car RoRo Requirements
High-performance sports cars often have low front bumpers, aerodynamic splitters, carbon-fiber components, and limited ground clearance.
These features can create difficulties when driving onto RoRo vessel ramps.
Vehicles that may require additional clearance review include:
Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS.
Ferrari sports cars.
Lamborghini Huracán and Aventador.
McLaren supercars.
Mercedes-AMG GT models.
Aston Martin performance vehicles.
Modified BMW M and Audi RS models.
The ocean carrier may reject vehicles that cannot safely enter or exit the vessel without damaging their bodywork.
Vehicles with extremely low ground clearance, lowered suspension, or oversized aerodynamic components may require container shipping instead.
Customers should disclose aftermarket modifications and special loading concerns before requesting a RoRo booking.

Royal Shipping Lines provides professional international exotic and luxury car shipping with specialized handling, vehicle safety procedures, and optional marine cargo insurance. We coordinate overseas transportation for high-value automobiles, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Bugatti, and other premium vehicles.
Shipping an exotic or luxury automobile overseas requires careful planning, suitable transportation equipment, proper cargo securing, and accurate documentation.
Our services include nationwide enclosed vehicle pickup, secure Miami storage, professional container loading, vehicle condition photographs, export documentation, and international ocean freight.
Whether you are shipping a rare supercar, luxury sedan, premium SUV, or exclusive collector automobile, we help coordinate transportation based on the vehicle's value, dimensions, condition, and special handling requirements.
Optional Marine Cargo Insurance for Exotic & Luxury Cars
Royal Shipping Lines offers optional marine cargo insurance for eligible exotic, luxury, and collector automobiles shipped internationally.
Insurance provides additional financial protection against covered losses or damage during the insured portion of transportation, subject to the applicable policy.
Our standard optional marine cargo insurance generally costs:
Insurance Premium: 1%–1.5% of the declared vehicle value.
Minimum Premium: Generally $200–$250, depending on the shipment.
Coverage: Subject to insurer approval, policy terms, limits, and exclusions.
Salvage Vehicles: Not eligible for our standard optional marine cargo insurance.
For eligible container shipments through our Miami facility, coverage generally begins when the shipping container is sealed and ends when it is unsealed at the destination, subject to the insurance policy.
Marine cargo insurance is optional and is not automatically included in standard ocean freight rates.
What Does Exotic Car Marine Insurance Cover?
Marine cargo insurance may provide protection against certain covered transportation risks.
Depending on the policy, covered events may include:
Accidental physical damage during the insured transportation period.
Certain vessel-related accidents.
Covered loading or unloading incidents.
Certain theft or total-loss events.
Other insured risks specifically listed in the policy.
Coverage is not unlimited, and exclusions may apply.
Examples of potential exclusions or limitations include:
Pre-existing vehicle damage.
Mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Ordinary wear and tear.
Inadequate packing or securing under certain circumstances.
Certain battery-related losses.
Undeclared vehicle modifications.
Losses occurring outside the insured transportation period.
Actual coverage is determined by the issued insurance policy, not by the vehicle's declared value alone.
Customers should review coverage terms, deductibles, exclusions, and claim requirements before purchasing insurance.
Marine Insurance vs. Inland Transportation Insurance
International exotic car shipping often involves two separate transportation stages.
1. Inland Vehicle Transportation
This includes pickup from a dealership, auction, private seller, or storage facility and delivery to our Miami warehouse or designated export port.
Inland transportation is performed by an assigned vehicle carrier with its own insurance coverage.
Carrier insurance limits, deductibles, and exclusions may vary.
For expensive supercars and collector automobiles, customers should confirm that the inland carrier's coverage is appropriate for the vehicle's value.
2. International Ocean Transportation
This includes transportation aboard the ocean vessel to the destination port.
Optional marine cargo insurance may be purchased for eligible shipments.
Inland carrier insurance and marine cargo insurance are separate. Coverage for one transportation stage does not automatically extend to the other.
Recommended Shipping Method for High-Value Exotic Cars
For valuable exotic and collector automobiles, Royal Shipping Lines generally recommends private container shipping combined with enclosed inland transportation.
This arrangement provides additional protection from direct weather exposure and allows specialized loading and cargo-securing procedures.
Private Container Shipping
Recommended for:
Ferrari and Lamborghini supercars.
McLaren performance vehicles.
Porsche GT and RS models.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley luxury automobiles.
Rare collector vehicles.
Limited-production exotic cars.
Low-clearance sports cars.
High-value automotive collections.
A private container provides dedicated enclosed space for the vehicle.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo transportation may be suitable for fully operational luxury sedans, premium SUVs, and other eligible vehicles.
However, extremely valuable supercars and automobiles with limited ground clearance may be better suited to container shipping.
Shipping eligibility depends on carrier requirements, vehicle specifications, and destination.
Nationwide Enclosed Exotic Car Transportation
Royal Shipping Lines coordinates enclosed luxury and exotic car transportation throughout the 48 contiguous United States.
Enclosed transportation protects vehicles from direct road debris, rain, and other environmental exposure during inland transit.
Depending on the vehicle, specialized transportation equipment may include:
Enclosed vehicle trailers.
Hydraulic liftgate carriers.
Low-angle loading ramps.
Extended loading platforms.
Suitable wheel restraints.
Specialized low-clearance loading equipment.
Enclosed transportation is recommended for rare, expensive, or low-clearance automobiles.
Customers must disclose vehicle modifications, operating problems, and special handling requirements before pickup.
Vehicle Inspection & Photo Documentation
Vehicle condition documentation is an important part of international exotic car transportation.
Royal Shipping Lines coordinates photographs at different stages of the shipping process.
These may include:
Pickup Photographs: Documentation of visible vehicle condition when collected by the inland carrier.
Warehouse Receiving Photographs: Images taken when the vehicle arrives at our Miami shipping facility.
Pre-Loading Photographs: Documentation before the vehicle enters the shipping container.
Container Loading Photographs: Images showing vehicle positioning and cargo-securing arrangements.
Final Loading Photographs: Documentation before the container is closed and sealed.
Photographs help establish visible vehicle condition at specific stages of transportation.
They do not replace a comprehensive mechanical inspection or guarantee that damage cannot occur.
Customers should report existing damage, missing components, and special handling concerns before transportation begins.
Professional Exotic Car Container Loading & Securing
Proper container loading is essential for luxury and high-performance vehicles.
Royal Shipping Lines coordinates professional loading at our Miami shipping facility for eligible automobiles.
The process generally includes:
Checking container suitability.
Reviewing vehicle dimensions and ground clearance.
Positioning the vehicle inside the container.
Applying suitable wheel restraints and securing equipment.
Confirming the vehicle is properly positioned.
Disconnecting the 12V battery according to container shipping requirements.
Taking loading photographs.
Closing and sealing the container.
Loading arrangements depend on the vehicle's weight, dimensions, condition, and available equipment.
Special Protection for Low-Clearance Supercars
Many exotic vehicles feature low front bumpers, carbon-fiber splitters, side skirts, and expensive aerodynamic components.
Examples include:
Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
Lamborghini Aventador.
McLaren 765LT.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.
Aston Martin performance models.
Depending on the vehicle, loading may require:
Low-angle ramps.
Extended loading platforms.
Additional clearance measurements.
Specialized vehicle-positioning equipment.
Careful handling of vulnerable bodywork.
Suitable cargo-securing arrangements.
Vehicles with extremely low ground clearance may require additional equipment or special approval before transportation.
Customers should disclose lowered suspension, aftermarket body kits, carbon-fiber accessories, and other modifications.
Luxury Car Shipping Safety Requirements
Before international shipment, exotic and luxury automobiles must meet applicable carrier and terminal safety standards.
Standard requirements generally include:
Vehicle Condition: No significant fluid leaks or unsafe mechanical conditions.
Fuel Level: Must comply with applicable carrier restrictions.
12V Battery: Must be disconnected for container shipping.
Vehicle Dimensions: Accurate length, width, height, and weight must be provided.

Modern exotic and luxury vehicles increasingly use hybrid or fully electric powertrains.
Examples include:
Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
Ferrari 296 GTB.
McLaren Artura.
Lamborghini Revuelto.
Porsche Taycan.
Rolls-Royce Spectre.
Mercedes-Benz EQ models.
BMW electric and hybrid vehicles.

Electric and hybrid vehicles are not accepted on our standard RoRo routes.
Damaged electric and hybrid vehicles are not accepted under our standard shipping service.
Customers must disclose the vehicle's powertrain, battery condition, and any known electrical problems before booking.
Non-Running & Damaged Exotic Vehicle Shipping
Certain non-running exotic and luxury vehicles may qualify for container shipping.
Examples include vehicles with:
Engine failure.
Transmission problems.
Electrical issues.
Missing keys.
Mechanical breakdowns.
Collision damage.
Restoration requirements.
Non-running vehicles may require winching, lifting, or specialized loading equipment.
Additional handling fees may apply.
Customers must disclose all known damage and mechanical problems before scheduling transportation.
Salvage vehicles are not eligible for our standard optional marine cargo insurance.
Personal Belongings & Additional Cargo Restrictions
Luxury and exotic vehicles should be shipped without loose personal belongings.
For approved additional cargo inside containerized vehicles, Royal Shipping Lines requires:
Advance cargo declaration.
A detailed packing list.
Quantity, description, and declared value of each item.
Payment of the applicable $500 additional cargo surcharge.
Compliance with all applicable cargo restrictions.
The driver's seat must remain empty.
Liquids, hazardous materials, and prohibited cargo are not permitted.

Our facility supports:
Vehicle receiving.
Visual condition inspections.
Photo documentation.
Temporary storage.
Covered warehouse storage, subject to availability.
Professional container loading.
Export documentation coordination.
Our standard Miami yard storage policy includes 30 days of free storage, followed by $10 per day, per vehicle.

Preparing an Exotic or Luxury Car for International Shipping
Before pickup or delivery to our shipping facility, customers should:
Confirm Vehicle Details: Provide the correct year, make, model, and VIN.
Verify Vehicle Condition: Disclose mechanical problems, existing damage, and modifications.
Remove Personal Items: Take out valuables and unauthorized loose cargo.
Check for Leaks: Confirm there are no significant fluid leaks.

International Exotic Car Shipping Insurance Costs
Insurance premiums depend on several factors:
Declared vehicle value.
Vehicle year, make, and model.
Vehicle condition.
Shipping method.
Origin and destination.
Insurer acceptance.
Policy limits and exclusions.
Applicable minimum premium.
For example, an eligible vehicle with a declared value of $100,000 may have an estimated marine insurance premium of $1,000–$1,500, based on a 1%–1.5% rate.
This is an illustration only and does not constitute an insurance quote or guarantee of coverage.
Final insurance pricing and eligibility must be confirmed before shipment.

Royal Shipping Lines provides professional luxury and exotic car export documentation and U.S. Customs clearance assistance for vehicles shipped internationally from the United States.
Whether you are exporting a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, McLaren, Aston Martin, or another high-value automobile, we coordinate the documentation required for international vehicle shipping.
Our services include vehicle title verification, export documentation preparation, Automated Export System (AES) filing, U.S. Customs vehicle export procedures, bill of lading preparation, and international ocean freight coordination.
We assist private vehicle owners, luxury car dealerships, international buyers, collectors, and automotive exporters shipping vehicles from the USA to destinations worldwide.
Documents Required to Export a Luxury or Exotic Car from the USA
Most international vehicle exports require the following information and documents:
Original Vehicle Title: A valid certificate of title or other acceptable ownership document.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The complete 17-character VIN, when applicable.
Bill of Sale or Purchase Invoice: Documentation showing the vehicle purchase or ownership transaction.
Exporter Identification: EIN for applicable U.S. exporters or acceptable identification for eligible foreign exporters.
Consignee Information: Full name, address, telephone number, and email of the recipient overseas.
Destination Information: Destination country and preferred arrival port.
Lien Release: Required when the title shows a lien that has been satisfied.
Vehicle Details: Year, make, model, condition, and applicable vehicle specifications.
Additional documentation may be required depending on the vehicle, destination country, export classification, and U.S. Customs requirements.
Original Vehicle Title Requirements
A valid vehicle title is one of the most important documents for exporting a used luxury or exotic automobile from the United States.
For applicable used self-propelled vehicle exports, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires acceptable ownership documentation before the vehicle can be exported.
The title should clearly identify:
Vehicle owner.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Vehicle year, make, and model.
Applicable lien information.
Customers should provide a clear scanned copy of the title for preliminary review.
The original title or other acceptable ownership document must be made available when required for U.S. Customs processing.
Original titles should never be left inside the vehicle during transportation.
Luxury Cars Purchased from U.S. Dealerships
Royal Shipping Lines coordinates international shipping for luxury and exotic vehicles purchased from authorized dealerships and independent automotive sellers.
Examples include:
Ferrari dealerships.
Lamborghini dealerships.
Porsche dealerships.
Rolls-Royce dealerships.
Bentley dealerships.
McLaren dealerships.
Aston Martin dealerships.
Mercedes-Benz dealerships.
BMW dealerships.
Independent exotic and collector car dealers.
Before export, customers should confirm that the dealership can provide the necessary ownership documents.
For newly manufactured vehicles that have never been titled, acceptable documentation may include a manufacturer's certificate or statement of origin, together with applicable supporting documents.
A purchase invoice alone may not satisfy all U.S. Customs ownership documentation requirements.
Auction Vehicle Export Documentation
We coordinate international shipping for eligible luxury and exotic automobiles purchased from major U.S. automotive auctions.
These include:
Copart.
IAAI.
Manheim.
ADESA.
Bring a Trailer.
Cars & Bids.
Specialty collector vehicle auctions.
Customers should provide:
Auction name and location.
Vehicle year, make, and model.
VIN.
Lot or stock number.
Paid purchase invoice.
Pickup release or gate pass.
Available ownership documentation.
The vehicle must be fully paid for and released before pickup can be scheduled.
Some auctions issue ownership documents separately from the vehicle release.
Customers should confirm title availability before scheduling international shipment.
Vehicles with Liens or Financing
Luxury vehicles purchased through financing or carrying an existing lien may require additional documentation before export.
If a lien appears on the title, customers may need to provide:
An original lien release.
Written authorization from the lienholder, where applicable.
Other documentation required by U.S. Customs.
The specific requirements depend on the ownership documents and whether the lien remains active.
Vehicles with unresolved ownership or lien documentation may be delayed or refused for export.
U.S. Customs 72-Hour Vehicle Export Rule
Under applicable U.S. Customs regulations, used self-propelled vehicles being exported from the United States are subject to specific documentation and inspection requirements.
For applicable shipments, the exporter must present the required vehicle and ownership documentation to CBP at least 72 hours before export.
The export location may have additional procedures, document submission deadlines, and inspection requirements.
The 72-hour rule does not mean the vehicle will automatically be approved or loaded immediately after the waiting period.
Customers should provide documents early to allow sufficient time for review, processing, and export coordination.
Automated Export System (AES) Filing
The Automated Export System (AES) is used to electronically submit required export information to U.S. authorities through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).
Luxury and exotic vehicle exports may require Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing.
Information commonly needed includes:
Exporter or U.S. Principal Party in Interest details.
Ultimate consignee information.
Vehicle description.
VIN.
Vehicle value.
Export classification information.
Destination country.
Port of export.
Shipping method.
Other applicable export information.
When required, an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) is generated after the EEI filing is accepted.
Royal Shipping Lines assists with applicable AES/EEI filing and export documentation based on the information provided by the customer.
Exporter Identification: EIN or Passport
Exporter identification requirements depend on the shipment and the parties involved.
For applicable U.S. business exports, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) is generally required.
Eligible foreign individuals may be able to use acceptable foreign identification information under applicable export filing rules.
Customers should provide accurate exporter details before documentation is prepared.
Additional identification or authorization may be required depending on the transaction.
Power of Attorney for Vehicle Export
When Royal Shipping Lines is authorized to prepare or submit export documentation on behalf of a customer, a limited export power of attorney may be required.
This authorization may permit us to:
Prepare export shipping documents.
Submit applicable AES/EEI filings.
Coordinate U.S. Customs export procedures.
Present required vehicle documentation.
Prepare shipment-related export paperwork.
The authorization is limited to the agreed export services and does not transfer vehicle ownership.
Bill of Lading for Luxury Car Shipping
The bill of lading (B/L) is an important transportation document issued in connection with the ocean shipment.
It identifies key shipment details, which may include:
Shipper or exporter.
Consignee.
Notify party.
Vehicle description.
VIN.
Port of loading.
Port of discharge.
Container number, when applicable.
Ocean carrier and shipment reference.
The bill of lading is used for shipment identification and cargo release procedures.
Customers must provide accurate consignee and notify-party information before the shipping documents are finalized.
Some ocean carriers require the consignee or appointed destination import agent to maintain an active, verified carrier account.
International Consignee & Destination Import Requirements
Before shipping a luxury or exotic automobile overseas, customers should confirm that the vehicle is eligible for import into the destination country.
Import requirements may include:
Vehicle age restrictions.
Import permits or licenses.
Customs registration.
Vehicle emissions standards.
Safety and technical requirements.
Import duties and taxes.
Local vehicle registration procedures.
Restrictions on used or salvage vehicles.
Some countries prohibit the importation of certain used vehicles or limit imports to approved businesses.
Royal Shipping Lines handles U.S. origin export services. Destination customs clearance, import permits, duties, taxes, terminal charges, and local registration are generally the responsibility of the consignee or appointed destination import agent.
Luxury & Exotic Car Export Restrictions
International vehicle exports are subject to U.S. export regulations, sanctions, and destination-country restrictions.
Certain countries, individuals, businesses, and transactions may be prohibited or require government authorization.
Royal Shipping Lines does not provide shipping services to restricted destinations under our company policies, including:
Belarus.
Cuba.
Iran.
Myanmar.
North Korea.
Russia.
Syria.
Additional restrictions may apply based on the vehicle, transaction parties, destination, or applicable regulations.

Examples include:
Bugatti collector automobiles.
Limited-production Ferrari models.
Lamborghini special editions.
Rare Porsche GT and RS models.
Rolls-Royce bespoke vehicles.
Bentley Mulliner editions.
Other high-value exotic and collector automobiles.
Customers must provide accurate ownership information, transaction details, vehicle values, and destination information.
Certain transactions may require additional screening or documentation before acceptance.
Non-Running & Salvage Luxury Car Export Documentation
Container shipping may be available for certain non-running or damaged exotic vehicles.
However, export documentation requirements still apply.
Customers must provide accurate information about:
Vehicle ownership.
Title status.
VIN.
Operating condition.
Damage history.
Vehicle modifications.
Applicable export restrictions.
Salvage or rebuilt title status may affect destination import eligibility.
Some countries prohibit the importation of salvage vehicles or impose additional restrictions.
Damaged electric and hybrid vehicles are not accepted under our standard shipping service.

Examples include:
Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
Ferrari 296 GTB.
McLaren Artura.
Lamborghini Revuelto.
Porsche Taycan.

Electric and hybrid vehicles are not accepted on our standard RoRo routes.
Customers must disclose the vehicle's powertrain and battery condition before booking.
Preparing Your Luxury Car for U.S. Export
