Transport options to suit all eventualities

Depending on your requirements, we can offer inland enclosed transport, air freight, and anything additional that provides peace of mind when transporting your Bentley from anywhere in the world into the United Kingdom.

Once your car arrives, we can assist with the registration process, including any necessary testing to get the car on the road.

We can’t wait to help you on your journey.

A full service experience all under one roof

My Car Import is the only privately owned IVA testing lane in the United Kingdom. For you, this means that your car isn’t transported should it need an IVA test. It all happens here with us under one roof.

We’re incredibly passionate about the motoring industry and fully understand what cars mean to their owners.

Frequently asked Questions

Are there any Bentley owners clubs in the United Kingdom?

Yes! Unsurprisingly, numerous Bentley owner’s clubs and enthusiasts’ groups in the United Kingdom bring together individuals who share a passion for Bentley automobiles. These clubs provide a platform for Bentley owners and enthusiasts to connect, share their love for the brand, and participate in various events and activities.

Bentley Drivers Club and Bentley Owners Club are just two of many. These clubs offer a platform for owners and enthusiasts to come together, share experiences, showcase their cars, and celebrate the legacy of Bentley’s creations.

Joining one of these clubs can provide you with opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and participate in events dedicated to the marque.
