Car Shipping from the UK, RoRo and Container Vehicle Freight

We ship cars, 4x4s, pickups, motorhomes, trucks and agricultural machinery from UK ports every week by roll-on roll-off and container. Where personal effects need to travel with the vehicle, we use a sealed container instead.

Car Shipping UK helps private owners, dealers and businesses ship cars worldwide with one team handling collection, export paperwork, ocean booking and destination release. Roll-on roll-off is the cheapest and simplest way to send a driveable vehicle abroad. The vehicle is driven onto a purpose-built car deck, secured for the voyage and driven off at destination, no container, no crating and no loading labour. It must run, steer and brake, and it must travel empty apart from factory-fitted equipment.

Customers also find our service when searching for ShipCars UK. Our trading name is Car Shipping UK, and every quote compares the practical RoRo and container choices for the vehicle, destination and required level of protection.

Indicative only. RoRo rates are calculated on cubic measurement, so a firm figure needs accurate length, width and height. Port charges, marine insurance and destination duties are quoted separately.

RoRo or container, which suits your vehicle?

RoRo wins on price and is ideal for a single running vehicle. A container makes sense when you want personal effects loaded around the vehicle, when the car is a non-runner or a high-value classic, or when the destination has no RoRo service. Two to four cars can share a 40ft container, which often lands cheaper per unit than individual RoRo bookings.

Read our detailed Ship Cars guide for costs, documents and preparation, or see the RoRo shipping service for deck eligibility and loading requirements.
