Vehicle shipping
Not every vehicle we ship is one we sold. If you already own the car, the pickup or the van and you need it somewhere else in the world, we provide the same service we run for our own buyers: collection, export documentation, sea freight, customs at both ends and inland delivery. Relocations, returning residents, fleet moves and one-off private shipments all work the same way.
- Collection from a home, dealer, auction house or compound
- Export documentation and the bill of lading
- RO-RO or container, whichever suits the vehicle and the route
- Optional cargo insurance for the vehicle's declared value
- Customs clearance at origin and destination
- Inland delivery to the final address
- 01Make, model and year
- 02Where it is now, and where it needs to go
- 03Whether it runs and drives
- 04Roughly when it is ready to collect
Is this you?
If your cargo is not on that list it does not mean we cannot move it. Tell us what it is and we will say which of the services fits.

Before you send the message.
- What do you need to quote Vehicle shipping?
- To quote it we need make, model and year; where it is now, and where it needs to go; whether it runs and drives; roughly when it is ready to collect. Send what you have and we will tell you what else the movement needs.
- What does Vehicle shipping cover?
- Not every vehicle we ship is one we sold. It covers collection from a home, dealer, auction house or compound; export documentation and the bill of lading; RO-RO or container, whichever suits the vehicle and the route; optional cargo insurance for the vehicle's declared value; customs clearance at origin and destination; inland delivery to the final address.
- Is Vehicle shipping the right service for my cargo?
- You own the car and we ship it, from any origin to any destination, by RO-RO or in a container. Typically that means private cars, 4x4s and pickups, vans and minibuses, motorcycles and non-runners.
