Shipping a Car to Cuba Made Easy with OGBESA Multiservices from Tampa or Miami

Sending a car to Cuba is no longer an overwhelming luxury but has become a straightforward, secure, and transparent process thanks to OGBESA Multiservices. This agency, located in Tampa and Miami, has won the trust of numerous Cubans residing in the United States.

Ovier Esteban García, the founder and owner, outlines the step-by-step process of their service and explains why his company has become a favorite for those looking to send vehicles to their families on the island.

A Transparent Process from Start to Finish

The journey begins when a customer selects the agency and hands over their vehicle along with the necessary documents. At OGBESA Multiservices, the procedure is straightforward:

• Car title and Bill of Sale
• ID of the person sending the vehicle
• Photocopy of the recipient's ID card, both sides, who will own the vehicle
• Recipient's phone number
• Vehicle information, like engine number and mileage (if not available, the agency obtains these upon inspection)

Once the documents are received, the client makes a payment and receives a receipt for the shipping service. From this point, the agency takes over all responsibilities.

Diligence in Documentation: Two Files, One Destination

Ovier emphasizes the thoroughness required in the process: “For a vehicle to legally exit the U.S. towards Cuba, the agency must prepare two dossiers—one for U.S. customs and another for the Cuban authorities.”

The first dossier is critical as it permits the car's export and secures a booking at the port. While some competitors promise a quick 10 to 15-day shipment, OGBESA avoids cutting corners to prevent future delays in Cuba: “It's better to take a little longer here and deliver a vehicle with all papers in order than to rush it and cause issues later,” explains Ovier.

Once freed and all documents are approved, the car arrives at the port, where it typically waits one to two weeks before being loaded and shipped. Afterward, the agency receives the BL (Bill of Lading), a crucial document for the client or their family to claim the car in Cuba. OGBESA maintains constant communication to expedite this document's delivery to the client.

The Slowest Phase: Navigating Cuban Bureaucracy

Upon the vehicle's arrival in Cuba, the most challenging phase begins: the inspection and release by the Cuban shipping company. Opening the container, vehicle review, and security checks may be delayed due to the bureaucracy familiar to many Cubans.

Nevertheless, OGBESA supports the client throughout the entire process to ensure each stage is completed as swiftly as possible.

Recommended Vehicles for the Cuban Market

Although most brands can be shipped without issue, Ovier specifically recommends Hyundai vehicles due to their available spare parts in Cuba and ease of maintenance on the island. This choice reduces future costs and headaches for owners and their families.
