  📍 Montevideo (Inland Customs Zone) – central hub for bonded storage, customs clearance, and distribution of vehicles, machinery, and commercial cargo throughout Uruguay.

• ⏱️ Estimated Transit Time to Uruguay

  🛳️ East Coast USA (Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah → Montevideo): 14–18 days

  🛳️ Gulf Coast USA (Houston, New Orleans → Montevideo): 16–20 days

Your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel and secured inside a weather-protected cargo deck. This option is ideal for operable cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, buses, and machinery, offering a fast and cost-effective solution to Uruguay’s main port — Montevideo.
