Puerto Rico – Car import and export

How to send you car from USA to Puerto Rico

Looking for a transporter – easy choice if you want to bring belongings in the car. The only company that allows this is PR Packers (as off 2023). All other shippers will not allow you to have anything in the car – only what the car came with from the dealer. There are a couple extra hoops to use PR Packers, only worth it if you need to bring in items in your car. They also pack and ship your home or business.

• You or a family member has to drop of the car in Orlando. They check ID and inspect the car. If you have the car shipped to Orlando, you need to be there for drop-off.
• You need an inventory of items in the car. They inspect the car but they do not inspect items.
• Items should not block rear-view mirror, but I have seen pick-up trucks stacked packed so not sure about this.
• Document copies of driver’s license, title, and registration
• Letter from the lien holder if needed
