Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pack personal items inside my car?

Only with container shipping. RoRo vessels require the vehicle to be empty — no personal items inside the car, no loose items in the trunk. Container shipping allows you to pack goods inside the vehicle up to a reasonable weight.

What documents do I need to ship a car to Ghana?

You need the original vehicle title (lien-free), a valid government-issued ID, and the EPA/DOT compliance form. VoltaHaul prepares the bill of lading and all other export documentation.

How long does vehicle shipping take?

RoRo takes 14–21 days from port departure to arrival at Tema Port. Container shipping takes approximately 30 days. Add 3–5 days for customs clearance at Tema Port before your recipient can collect the vehicle.

What condition does the car need to be in?

For RoRo, the vehicle must run (it is driven on and off the vessel), have no exterior damage, be under ¼ tank of fuel, and have no major fluid leaks. Cars that don't qualify for RoRo can ship in a container, delivered to our Atlanta warehouse, with prior arrangement.

Is there an extra charge for hybrid vehicles?

Yes. Shipping lines classify hybrids as hazardous cargo because of the high-voltage battery, and they add a hazmat charge for every hybrid vehicle. That charge is passed through on top of the vehicle rate. Tell us the vehicle is a hybrid when you book and we'll confirm the amount for your sailing.

Do you pick up the vehicle from my location?

No. For RoRo, you take the car to the RoRo port nearest you — we book the sailing and prepare the export paperwork, wherever you are in the US. For container shipping, the car must be delivered to our Atlanta warehouse in Lilburn.
