Our Vehicle Shipping Services

Ro-Ro Shipping

Roll On-Roll Off is the method of driving a vehicle directly onto a shipping vessel. This mode of vehicle transport is more efficient as the loading and unloading process is simplified, reducing port time and minimising handling costs. Ro-Ro ships are specifically designed with built-in ramps, allowing vehicles to smoothly roll on and roll of the ship.

Container Shipping

Choosing to ship your vehicle overseas via a container is a much safer and more secure option than other methods. Vehicles are driven directly into a container that is then loaded onto a vessel, protecting them from the elements, potential damage and theft.

How To Ship A Car Overseas From The UK

Preparing to ship your car overseas from the UK can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation it can be a smooth process. To make the procedure as straightforward as possible, follow these simple steps:

  1. Choose a trusted shipping company – Look for a company that has a positive reputation and vast experience in shipping vehicles overseas.
  2. Select the best shipping method – Decide whether you want to ship your vehicle via RoRo services or in a shipping container for better protection.
  3. Prepare your car for shipping – Clean your car thoroughly, remove any personal items and check for any maintenance issues before shipping your vehicle. It’s recommended to take photos of your vehicle beforehand for documentation purposes.
  4. Handle the paperwork – Gather all of the necessary documents, including any specifically requested by the destination country.
  5. Book the shipment – Schedule in your shipment date with your chosen freight company. Simply drop your vehicle off and let us handle the rest.

Collect your car – Make arrangements to collect your car from the designated port or delivery location. Once any customs clearance procedures are taken care of, all that’s left to do is enjoy your car in its new location!

What Documents Do I Need To Export A Car?

If shipping a car from the UK, there are various documents that are required to make the process as seamless as possible:

  • Your log book (V5C) – this is to prove your ownership of the vehicle. If you are taking your vehicle out of the UK for more than 12 months, then you will need to fill in the ‘permanent export’ section of your log book and send it to the DVLA. The rest of your log book must be taken with you to register your vehicle in the country you’re taking it to.
  • Your passport and photo ID.
  • Your most recent MOT certificate.
  • Sometimes a copy of the purchase receipt is required.

This information is all used to complete the shipping note and bill of lading, two crucial documents used when shipping goods internationally.
