When shipping from Port Everglades to Montevideo, be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing alternative ports during peak storm months (August-October). Plan for increased congestion during the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June); secure vessel space and inland transport well in advance. Additionally, plan for potential delays due to North Atlantic winter storms (November-March) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) by allowing extra transit time and flexible delivery windows.

Preparing passenger vehicles for international shipping necessitates 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 vehicle and customs documentation before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos differ between domestic and international moves. Many international carriers restrict 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, most carriers suggest starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using vapor inhibitors inside the Vehicle, 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 capped 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 clear title documents, a value statement, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require homologation or conformity certificates. 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, export declaration, and a certificate of conformity to meet Uruguay's import regulations.
Seasonal weather patterns, including hurricane season from June to November, may affect shipping schedules and port operations, necessitating careful planning for transport and handling.
