We operate from our own 21,000 ft. warehouse with onsite container loading facilities, or we can arrange UK Nationwide transportation services for pickup and safe delivery to all main UK ports.

Our car shipping services are tailored to your individual needs. We ship cars from the UK by utilising Roll on Roll off (RoRo), shared and sole use 20ft and 40ft containers, and our unique R-Rak service which allows us to load up to 4 cars inside a shipping container.

Roll-on roll-off car shipping

Shipping Cars by RoRo

Roll on Roll off ships are designed specifically for the transportation of wheeled cargo and are typically the preferred choice of car manufacturers including Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Jaguar to transport their vehicles all over the world. You can drive your car, or we will collect and deliver to the port. Your vehicle is then driven up the ships ramp and inside the vessel where it is secured with chains to the interior deck of the ship.

Container car shipping

Shipping Cars by Container

This service gives you sole use of your own 20ft or 40ft container. Unlike Ro-Ro, shipping a car by container allows you to load spares or personal effects inside the container and most sailings from the UK are on a weekly basis. We offer container loading facilities at our own warehouses or at the ports of exit in Southampton or London.
