When shipping from Miami to Port Said, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm periods (August-October). Additionally, prepare for reduced operations during Ramadan and Eid holidays (March-June), necessitating extra time for customs and clearance. During the Christmas retail peak (October-December), book vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion and delays. Lastly, adjust for potential Suez Canal congestion (January-March) by allowing for longer transit times and flexible delivery windows.

Preparing cars for international shipping demands a full wash and dry, removal or securing of all loose items, Checking for fluid leaks, and ensuring the battery is Securely mounted. We recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required ownership and customs paperwork before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos depend on the transport company and lane. Many international carriers do not allow household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers allow small quantities if they are below window level and securely fastened. We recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often Excluded from insurance, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for Autos, specialists recommend starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using humidity absorbers inside the auto, applying Temporary corrosion protection to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing Enclosed containers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually restricted and may not reflect the true value of your passenger vehicle. Insurance brokers recommend purchasing All-risk cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are Included in the policy.
For international Auto transport, you typically need the original title or registration, a purchase invoice, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance.

We recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes the original title, bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any relevant customs forms for both the United States and Egypt to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Seasonal considerations may include weather-related disruptions during hurricane season in Miami, as well as potential delays due to increased shipping traffic during peak seasons in Egypt, which can affect port operations.
