Shipping vehicles from the United States to Europe—especially to Italy—continues to grow in demand as buyers seek high-quality American cars, SUVs, trucks, classic vehicles, and motorcycles. One of the most reliable, cost-efficient, and hassle-free methods for transporting vehicles overseas is RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping. Whether you’re sending a luxury sedan to Genoa, importing an SUV to Milan, or transporting motorcycles to Florence, RORO offers unmatched convenience and safety.
