How Luxury Car Shipping Works
Our four-stage process is designed to keep you informed at every step. From the moment you request a quote to the moment your vehicle is delivered at destination, you'll have a single point of contact and a live tracking link.
- 01
Request A Quote
Send us the vehicle details, UK collection postcode and destination. We respond with a fixed luxury car shipping price within one business hour — no obligation, no follow-up sales calls.
- 02
Confirm Your Booking
Secure your sailing with a 30% deposit. We schedule UK collection, raise export documentation and confirm a vessel sailing date the same day.
- 03
Vehicle Collection & Loading
Your vehicle is collected on a covered transporter from your UK address, taken to the port, inspected and loaded onto the agreed vessel.
- 04
Shipping & Delivery
Track the vessel in real-time. On arrival, your nominated agent (or our destination partner) clears customs and either delivers to your door or holds for collection.
Cost Of Luxury Car Shipping From The UK
The cost of luxury car shipping depends on the vehicle (size, weight and condition), the destination (port distance, port fees and frequency of sailings) and the chosen method (RoRo, shared container or sole-use container). As a rough guide, standard family cars ship to the Middle East from around £950, to East Africa from £1,150, to Australia from £1,850 and to the Caribbean from £1,150. Larger vehicles, classic cars and non-runners are priced individually.
We do not charge handling premiums for high-value vehicles, classic cars or modified vehicles — pricing is based on cubic measurement and routing, not perceived value. Marine insurance is calculated at 1.5% of declared value and is strongly recommended on any vehicle worth more than £5,000.
Documents Required
Paperwork is the single biggest cause of avoidable shipping delays. We collect and check every document seven days before sailing to give us time to fix any issue without affecting your vessel booking.
- Original V5 logbook
- Photo ID (passport or driving licence)
- Purchase invoice or proof of ownership
- Proof of UK address
- Destination buyer or consignee details
- De-registration paperwork (if required)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does luxury car shipping cost from the UK?+
Luxury Car Shipping pricing depends on the vehicle, destination and chosen method. Standard family cars typically range from £900 to £2,400 port-to-port. Request an instant quote with your specific details for an exact, all-inclusive price.
How long does luxury car shipping take?+
Transit times range from 10 days (UK to USA East Coast) to 45 days (UK to Australia and New Zealand). Most African and Middle East routes complete in 14–28 days. Add 3–5 working days for UK collection and 5–10 days for destination customs.
Is my vehicle insured during luxury car shipping?+
All-risks marine insurance is available from 1.5% of declared value, covering the vehicle from UK collection to final destination delivery. Basic carrier liability is included by default but provides limited cover — full marine insurance is strongly recommended.
Do you collect vehicles from anywhere in the UK?+
Yes — we collect from any UK address, including residential homes, dealerships, auction houses and storage facilities. Collection is included in the standard quote for door-to-port and door-to-door services.
Can non-running vehicles use luxury car shipping?+
Non-running vehicles can be shipped via container or flat-rack. RoRo shipping requires the vehicle to be drivable. Tell us the condition at the quote stage and we'll recommend the right method.
