International Car Exporting / Shipping
Before you decide to undertake the shipment of a vehicle into any country you must know what requirements are needed for that country and that your vehicle meets up to the required standards. It is important you consider customs implications and costs that will be involved once the vehicle arrives into the designated country by contacting the necessary parties. We will be more than happy to advise where to get the answers to those questions.
It is important you contact the DVLA and advise them that your vehicle is going to be exported out of the UK.
We will take care of all your export paperwork which takes the hassle out the complication of export. We will commit the entry to HMRC customs in the UK to advise them your vehicle is leaving the UK which is a legal requirement when undertaking any export.

Car Export / Shipping Through Container
Container service is mainly for those who wish to ship cars / vehicles in a safe and enclosed environment. We offer high quality shipping containers at competitive prices. Our containers are designed and manufactured to transport cargo via ship, truck and rail .We also offer a complete delivery and collection service for our containers, meaning that you can load or unload anywhere in the UK. Vehicles can either be exporterd in 20-foot containers, or in 40-foot containers combined with the owner's household goods. These are secured in the container by cables and straps that hold them in place.The greatest advantage of shipping your vehicle in a container is security as it ensures that your vehicle / car would not be dented and scratched during loading and unloading or knocked about during the sea voyage.At the same time, sealed containers eliminate the risk of having your car stereo and other accessories stolen. If you plan to ship spare parts with your vehicle, the only good option is by containers. |

Car Export / Shipping Via Roll on Roll off (Ro-Ro)
RORO is the simplest and cheapest method of shipping cars, it offers many advantages. If you look at the process of loading and unloading the vehicles, the RORO method makes a lot of sense. The car is simply driven on and off the vessel. Hence, roll on/roll off, RORO. Indeed it is faster compared to containers in terms of loading and unloading time.This Method simply involves the driving of vehicle into the lower decks of large Ro-Ro ships and is thereofore cheaper than the container method of shipping. Please note that not all countries have facilities for unloading this sort of ships in their docks and its therefore worth enquiring with us first. |
