Car Shipping UK Questions
What is RoRo shipping and how does it work?
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping is where your vehicle is driven onto a specialist car carrier vessel. It's the most popular and cost-effective method for shipping running vehicles internationally. Your car is secured on the ship's deck and driven off at the destination port.
When should I choose container shipping over RoRo?
Container shipping is ideal for high-value, classic, or luxury vehicles that need maximum protection. Your car is secured inside a sealed container, protecting it from weather, salt spray, and external damage. It's also the only option for non-running vehicles or if you want to ship personal belongings with your car.
How long does it take to ship a car from the UK?
Transit times vary depending on your destination and the shipping method chosen. RoRo and container shipping follow regular sailing schedules, while air freight offers the fastest delivery for urgent shipments. Contact us for current transit times to your specific destination.
Which UK ports do you ship from?
We ship from all major UK ports including Southampton, Tilbury, Bristol, Liverpool, and Felixstowe. The departure port depends on your destination and the shipping line used. We handle all port logistics and documentation.
Is my vehicle insured during shipping?
Yes, all vehicles are covered by comprehensive marine insurance during transit. This covers damage, theft, and total loss. For high-value vehicles, we can arrange additional cover. Insurance certificates are provided with your shipping documentation.
What documents do I need to ship a car from the UK?
You'll need the V5C registration document (or proof of ownership), a valid ID, and commercial invoice if selling. We handle all export documentation including customs declarations, bill of lading, and EPA forms for USA. For imports, we manage NOVA, customs entries, and destination paperwork.
