          • Power of attorney (if someone else is handling the drop-off/pick-up)

          Fees: Puerto Rico’s government may apply an excise tax, which varies by vehicle type and value. Car owners are responsible for this fee.

          Auto Shipping Group offers door-to-port service to the Jacksonville, FL, port for ocean transport to San Juan. We can pick up your car from your home or meet you at a nearby location.

          Step 4
