Ship a car, motorbike, classic vehicle, plant or machinery from the UK using a route-appropriate RoRo or container service, with responsibilities and costs set out before booking.
If you need to ship a car from the UK, Jenkar coordinates international vehicle shipping for private owners, dealers and businesses. We start with eligibility, vehicle condition, dimensions, origin, destination and timing before comparing a feasible method.
RoRo and container services have different carrier, terminal and cargo rules. Customs, tax, registration and technical requirements also vary by destination, so they need checking before the movement is booked.
For a permanent export lasting 12 months or more, the registered keeper must follow the GOV.UK and DVLA permanent-export process. Commercial and other exports may also need a customs declaration; GOV.UK explains when an export declaration is required.
Read our international car-shipping guide for the method, document, preparation and cost checklist.
Vehicle shipping needs the right method, careful securing and paperwork that matches the movement.
Vehicle shipping covers cars, motorbikes, plant equipment and heavy machinery movements.
Use RoRo when a suitable running or rollable vehicle is accepted on the required route. Consider a container when enclosure, a specific loading plan or approved additional cargo matters. Neither method is universally cheaper, faster or safer.
The service flexes around the item, whether it is a single car, a fleet movement or heavy plant equipment.
Cars and motorbikes for relocation or export.
Machinery that needs specialist loading.
Commercial vehicle movements and stock.
Equipment moves connected to wider freight plans.
We review the vehicle, route, import eligibility, dates and required origin and destination services.
The written quote states the proposed method, inclusions, exclusions, documents, customs roles and handover points.
Vehicle preparation follows the booked carrier's instructions; loading, securing and transport are coordinated to the agreed plan.
Agreed customs and destination services are coordinated, with milestone updates available for the selected carrier and route.
The quote and booking should identify the carrier method, loading responsibility, condition evidence, customs parties, destination charges, optional insurance and final handover. Updates depend on the milestones made available by the selected carrier and route.
