Start from the vehicle location
The best route is not determined by ocean shipping alone. Compare the cost of moving the vehicle from its location to the available U.S. loading points.
Compare complete routes
A lower ocean rate may require higher inland transport. Compare the combined route total rather than one line item.
Consider the vehicle type
Vehicle type, size and loading method affect available options and pricing, especially for larger or commercial vehicles.
Use current calculation data
Routes and rates can change when administrative data is updated, so rely on the values displayed when the calculation is issued.
