How Do I Ship My Car Internationally?
Our process begins with a grand send-off! Your vehicle is either collected by us, or you meet us at the port with your vehicle, which we only recommend if you live close by.
Once at the port, your vehicle will be whisked off via the method selected, either roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping or container.

RoRo:
Vehicles are driven directly onto the ship, which is designed with ramps with multi-story parking garage decks. They are securely parked inside the vessel's cargo hold and then rolled off at the destination port. This method is fast, cost-effective, and preferred for vehicles that can be driven on and off the ship.Container:
Vehicles are loaded into large, standard-sized metal containers that provide a protective enclosure for the vehicle, safeguarding it from the elements and any potential damage during the journey. The vehicle is either driven or placed inside the container, which is then sealed and loaded onto the cargo ship. This method is ideal for high-value, classic, or sensitive vehicles that require extra protection.How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Car Overseas?

How Long Does It Take To Ship A Car Overseas?
Well, the truth is that many factors can affect the total transit time.
The distance and route are the leading factors. For example, a car going from the East Coast of the U.S. to Europe can take 1-3 weeks, whereas vehicles heading for Asia or Australia could take 3-8 weeks.
The shipping method plays a crucial role, with RoRo being faster than container shipping due to simpler handling procedures. Plus, the frequency of trips, customs clearance times at both origin and destination ports, weather conditions, and port logistics also impact the time.
