When planning to ship a car, one of the first decisions you will face is whether to use Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) or Container Shipping. Each method has its advantages, depending on the type of vehicle, budget, and destination. Here is a simple comparison to help you choose the best way to ship a car safely and efficiently. What is Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO)? For RORO, vehicles are driven directly onto a vessel and securely fastened on board.
Advantages of RORO:
 Generally, the cheapest way to ship a car
 It has a regular sailing on international routes
 Simple and quick loading process.
Disadvantages of RORO:
 Vehicles are exposed to sea air during transit
 Personal belongings cannot be placed inside the car
RORO is ideal for standard vehicles in running condition when you want a cost-effective option to ship a car overseas.
What is Container Shipping?
For container shipping, your vehicle is secured inside a sealed shipping container. You can choose between a dedicated container or a shared container.
Advantages of Container:
 Maximum protection from weather and handling
 Suitable for luxury, rare or classic cars
 Ability to include spare parts or personal items inside the container
Disadvantages of Container:
 More expensive than RORO
 Fewer sailings compared to RORO vessels
Container is perfect when you want premium protection to ship a car internationally. 
Which Should You Choose?
RORO is best if you want the most affordable option to ship a car in the UK or overseas. A container is ideal if you want premium protection and are moving a valuable or classic vehicle.
