American Car Imports to the UK

Your trusted partner for importing vehicles from the USA. We handle everything from US collection to UK road-readiness support.

UK's Leading Full-Service American Car Importer

We are the UK's leading full-service importer of vehicles into the UK and have a long history of importing American cars. (Feel free to read our light-hearted History of ShipMyCar and see how we have been involved in the American car scene for many years).

Private vehicle import support

ShipMyCar is a private vehicle shipping and import specialist, not a government agency. We provide logistics, compliance preparation and guidance; official decisions, fees and records remain with the relevant authorities.

American Car Import Specialists

Since 2006 we have assisted thousands of people to import a US car into the UK including the shipping, testing and road-readiness processes.

American car imports

We have built up a network of US hauliers who can safely move your vehicle across states to our closest port facility.

We ship enough cars from the USA to be full container load shippers, we use R-Raks to ensure safe loading of your car into a container and ensure a speedy export departure and inbound journey to the UK.

Expert UK Conversion and Road-Readiness

Having handled the import of so many US imported vehicles, we are experts in the required conversion process, the testing procedures and the paperwork needed to move your American import toward UK road use.

We understand the complicated nature of modifying an American car for use on UK roads including, for example, the separation of brakes from indicators and addition of side repeater indicators.
