On Shipping a Vehicle to Guam
In the northern Pacific Ocean sits the small island known as Guam. Located just east of the Phillipines, Guam is an overseas US territory first acquired in 1898. One of five American territories with an established civilian government, Guam is home to over 161,700 residents.
It is the largest island in the Marianas Islands and is the largest island in Micronesia. Shipping a vehicle to Guam seems daunting because of this – it’s in the middle of nowhere, in the ocean, and is barely more than a blip on the map for most. However, shipping a vehicle to Guam is actually fairly common, considering its importance as a military installation today.
Article Overview
Is Shipping a Vehicle to Guam popular?
The island doesn’t see near the auto transportation traffic that other places in the contiguous United States do, because Guam sits overseas and it’s small and it doesn’t have a lot of “tourist-y” things to do.
Most of the vehicle transport traffic to and from the island is military, though you can get civilian shipping services to Guam as well. Shipping a vehicle to Guam is going to be much the same as shipping a vehicle to Alaska or Hawaii, except for the fact that it will take a lot longer.
Timetables tend to be longer when shipping a vehicle to Guam too, mostly because it’s a lot further away than either Alaska or Hawaii.
How Expensive is Shipping a Vehicle to Guam?
This is a hard question to answer considering that every car shipper – and every order – is different. We can say with a fair amount of certainty, that Guam is an expensive place to ship to. The biggest reason for this expense is the distance between ports. It’s a long way to Guam, after all.
It is also expensive because of how the vehicle needs to be shipped. Basically, it has to be loaded onto an overseas cargo ship and hauled to the port in Guam. And yes, it will have to brave the harsh and daunting Pacific Ocean, but it’s worth it, and the industry is fairly safe. They also load your vehicle belowdecks to make sure it is secured against any rough seas or choppy weather.
