Guam

Guam is an island is the western Pacific Ocean that is one of the five United States territories that has an established civilian government. There is little public transportation on the island so most residents use personal vehicles. However, the island is still rather small at 209 square miles. Auto shipper must, obviously, use large freight carriers to ship automobiles to Guam. Once there, there is typically no need for land transport due to the size of the island. However, Budget Auto Shipping does provide a 50% discount on the entire service if a car’s delivery service includes land and sea transport.

The climate in Guam remains rather hot during the entire year and the short trip for land automobile transport does not justify an enclosed hauler for an vehicles. However, Guam does lie in the aptly named “Typhoon Alley”. The frequent storms in the region nearly require automobiles to be shipped in container services rather than roll-on/roll-off. Harsh and sustained winds can cause delays in auto shipping to Guam. Another environmental concern for auto shippers is earthquakes that can occur frequently due to the island’s close proximity to the Pacific Plate.
