Car shipping to São Tomé and Príncipe
We ship vehicles to São Tomé and Príncipe — RoRo or container
São Tomé and Príncipe is one of the destinations we move cars to regularly, through the Port of São Tomé. We recommend the most economical method for your car’s value and the arrival port, and prepare the entry documents before departure, not after the vehicle arrives.
- RoRo: The vehicle drives on by its own wheels — the most economical for used cars.
- Container: Secured with four straps and chocks under the tyres — more protective for luxury and classic cars.
- Triptyque: Temporary-entry procedures and release documents ready before shipping.
