Shipping a Car to Guam: Container Shipping Options
Car Shipping from USA to Guam can be performed by one of two auto shipping methods: using a shared container, or sole container service.
Shared Container Service – Enjoy the advantage of a fully enclosed shipping container, and split the auto transport costs with the other customers sharing the container with you. Our shipping containers include a modern steel loading system that accommodates multiple vehicles in a single 40′ container, allowing us to reduce the overall cost of the shipping process and pass the savings on to you. In addition to customs clearance fees, the container shipping option also includes a terminal handling, trucking, and unloading charge at the destination port.
When shipping a car with container shipping, it will be protected from the weather and other elements throughout its journey to the final destination port in Guam thanks to our fully enclosed containers. Since the container will be shared, it must be fully loaded before shipping out, so there might be a bit of a wait for other international shipments before we ship your vehicle to Guam. Usually, shipments will occur every 1-2 weeks.
Full Container Load – A single 20′ shipping container is dedicated solely to your vehicle or a 40’ container to your multiple vehicles, so there’s no wait for container capacity before your car ships to Guam. However, a shorter wait between departure and arrival will come at a cost – the additional container handling charges won’t be shared with other vehicle owners. Frequent departures for shipments every 1-2 weeks also make this a faster international car shipping process.
You’ll enjoy the security of a fully enclosed container that will protect your vehicle from the weather and other elements. Our shipping specialists will also document your vehicle’s arrival and loading process with photos in our guaranteed condition report.
Unlike other shipping companies that use outdated wood ramps with potentially damaging nails for car shipments, we use a proprietary steel loading system that not only reduces the risk of damage to your vehicle but is also reusable and environmentally friendly. After your vehicle is loaded, the container will be locked securely and inaccessible until the shipment reaches its destination. Once the shipment reaches Guam, an car shipping services agent will access the container and photograph the vehicle’s arrival condition and unloading.
Since the vehicle will be secure during transport, clients are welcome to pack and transport additional items and personal belongings inside the car. However, all personal items must be loaded securely, as we are not responsible for any loss or damage during auto transport.
Additional Services
Sourcing Vehicles – Over twenty years’ experience shipping cars has allowed us to develop an extensive network of car buyers. In exchange for a nominal fee, we can assist overseas clients who wish to purchase vehicles.
Other Services – Some of the auto transport services we offer in overseas territories include domestic pickup, vehicle import assistance, tracking of your shipment, customs clearance in the USA and a full vehicle inspection report.
Ports Served in the US and Guam
Departure Ports – United States
The location your vehicle will depart from depends on the method of car shipping to Guam, where your vehicle is located, your budget and which services the nearest port offers.
We have multiple departure locations in the USA, including Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, Savannah and more.
Destination Ports – Guam
We ship vehicles to the Port of Guam, located in Cabras Island, and operated by the Port Authority of Guam. As Guam’s sole deep-water harbor, 90% of the island’s imports are handled there.
Our experienced agents at the Guam Transport & Warehouse will deliver top-notch service and can arrange for shipment pick up as well as local delivery of your vehicle.
Cleaning Your Vehicle’s Undercarriage
Before shipping vehicles to Guam, the undercarriage must be cleaned and free of foreign soil to prevent the introduction of invasive plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. This can be accomplished through steam cleaning or other thorough cleaning methods.
CFR Classic can assist with finding an appropriate cleaner to help ensure you comply with this requirement. We do not recommend washing the interior of the vehicle as it can cause mold during transport. Vacuuming the interior is usually more than sufficient.
Plating Your Vehicle in Guam
To register your imported vehicle in Guam, the law requires that your vehicle undergo a safety inspection. Our auto transport experts can assist with arrangements.
The annual registration fee varies and is based on gross vehicle weight. Once registered, you can go to the DMV to complete the procedure and get your Guam tags.
For more information, you can visit the official Guam Department of Revenue and Taxation – Motor Vehicle Division.
