Car Shipping UK

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.

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.

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.

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.
