1. What are the modes of transportation that they can offer?
If you’re lucky enough, your preferred company will be able to give you all the options – land, air, and sea. You see, each mode varies, especially in price; hence, if you are taking not of your budget, mostly, you can choose which one is priced the lowest but is still guaranteed to be reliable.
