Compare shipping companies by best prices, timely delivery and insurances offered. Identify a few companies such as AutoCarShippers, ShipMyVehicle or DAS Auto Shippers that undertake vehicle shipping to Mexico.
Specify your source and destination points and vehicle type in the online forms provided at the sites of the shipping companies. Some companies give you the quote online instantly while others may send it by email.
Decide the pick up and delivery points. Some companies have door-to-door pick up and delivery services for all cities in the US. The cost will increase accordingly. You can also drive your car to the port of shipping, and take delivery at the destination port.
Verify that the shipping company will handle customs clearance and related procedures with the Mexican customs authorities.
Engage a shipping company after considering the costs and the pick up and delivery options. Agree on the pick up and delivery schedule. Choose a company that has experience in shipping vehicles to Mexico.
Find out from the shipping company what documents you need to have ready. If you have an FM2 or FM3 Visa and are importing the car temporarily you will need the following documents: Visa and passport or tourist card, title and registration for the car, driver's license and a credit card that can be used internationally. The names on all documents should match exactly the name of the person shipping the car.
Remove personal belongings and accessories from the car before handing the car over to the shipping company if you have chosen the RORO option.
