[![The Containerised Car Transport Guide](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2529920/34f2bd0c-3b82-4796-a05c-1ce1968c05d2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2529920/34f2bd0c-3b82-4796-a05c-1ce1968c05d2) The cost of transporting your vehicles utilising this method can be higher than with the[Roll on Roll off](https://blog.trans-rak.com/the-disadvantages-of-roll-on-roll-off-car-shipping)([RoRo](https://blog.trans-rak.com/comparing-roro-with-container-transportation)) method, unless you utilise a [Trans-Rak](https://www.trans-rak.com/) car storage racking system to increase the number of vehicles which can be transported in each container. ## **Container Options For Transporting Vehicles** There are several different high cube [container shipping](https://blog.trans-rak.com/containerised-car-transport-guide) options for transporting vehicles across the ocean; the most readily available include the 20 foot, 40 foot, 45 foot and 53 foot options. **1) 20 Foot Containers** 20 foot containers are a good, cost effective option if you want to move a smaller number of vehicles; [Trans-Rak](https://blog.trans-rak.com/trans-rak-videos) can work with you to ensure you can fit two vehicles in this sized shipping container, using our adjustable [R-RAK](https://blog.trans-rak.com/r-rak-makes-top-gear-appearance) system. **2) 40 Foot Containers** A 40 foot container is available for utilisation through most shipping companies and a good option for transporting up to 6 vehicles. While the number of vehicles which can be accommodated in the container will depend on the size of the particular vehicles, with a good reusable racking system you can expect to transport: - 5 – 6 small cars such as the Fiat 500 - 4 – 5 medium sized cars, such as the Honda Civic - 4 large cars, such as the Hyundai i40; and - 3 mid-size SUVs, such as the Range Rover Evoque Sport **3) 45 Foot Containers** 45 foot containers are a great option if you want to move up to 6 medium sized vehicles, such as the Honda Civic. However, moving this number of vehicles is only achievable and cost effective if you use a car storage racking system. Otherwise you will end up with a lot of underutilised space in your container. The [R-RAK](https://blog.trans-rak.com/which-steel-racking-system-do-i-need) system is perfect for this job, getting all 6 of your vehicles to you in a faster timeframe than is available through other methods of transportation. **4) 53 Foot Containers** If you are looking to move approximately 4 or 5 large vehicles at one time, such as an Audi Q7 or BMW X5, you can achieve this using a 53 foot container and two adjustable R-RAKs. At Trans-Rak we have a range of products to help you achieve this goal. These products can be viewed [here](https://www.trans-rak.com/product/) and include both internal and external loading [racking systems](https://blog.trans-rak.com/innovation-in-automotive-racking-systems). Speak to us and we will work with you to ensure you have the best possible racking system to do the job. ## **Arranging Your Trans-Rak Car Storage Racking System** If you’ve decided to choose the safest method to transport your vehicles and want to manage your costs by maximising the space in the shipping container, download our free e-book The *Containerised Car Transport Guide* by [clicking here](https://cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com/ctas/v2/public/cs/c/?cta_guid=da947a7c-31aa-4a49-9cd0-68d9f9ce94ee&placement_guid=556e511a-a8a6-4b27-9835-9a0057717cac&portal_id=2529920&redirect_url=APefjpGeDUwmrynJnH5nOHsyCZ7_DYWe3xkaOyzZHNy_w2OdoNohom_lJhi44vnyOlB3Qykd7-kSaYN7JvGd6HY4KnY2fEuHaMlbydAMCxzO9FWsRH5WhoMnJb0dD8DXtJWaO5Yr2xWjuZxcmP_I59x59hqbuK2oOt8uyN_eCzIlvPWYteub7VyOLO6GB53OI_j1f4ZdMvKOx8wSny32qRaJU09TpGv4U45XnWdyUnt5JJi8ChVHcusYvRz4We7eCQbV5WbFPNtPGBe9l048Z3_12fT_2hE9xFjJJ21vxmNIz3KeAy5quho&hsutk=ff2305d7a4261f8f0da711cd12a61305&canon=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.trans-rak.com%2Fwhy-roro-shipping-is-not-always-the-best-method-of-car-transportation&click=de14cb54-b09f-42fc-966b-bea964c1c864&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.trans-rak.com%2F&pageId=5830185400).
