SHIPPING A CAR FROM OAKLAND TO THE UNITED KINGDOM

We have completed a large number of imports for customers from all over the world, especially from the United States. In fact, there aren’t many countries from which we haven’t imported cars.

Our team consists of expert mechanics, experienced logistic management agents on every continent, and many other experts in their fields to ensure that you have a smooth experience importing your car. We have recently upgraded our facilities and have a unique relationship with the DVSA, so we can perform IVA testing on-site if necessary.

We are the country’s only car importers with a private testing lane. When your motorhome is being tested, DVSA inspectors come to us. When your car is being tested, DVSA inspectors come to us. Alternatively, depending on the route to registration, we can also perform an MOT on-site.

Keeping everything under one roof expedites the process significantly because we don’t have to transport your motorhome off-site and schedule a test at another facility.

Once your car arrives at our facility, it will not leave until it has been registered. It will remain in our care until you are ready to pick it up or have it delivered to you.

Our newly acquired premises are safe, secure, and extremely large, so your car will not be crammed into a corner.

PORT OF CHARLESTON

THE PORT OF CHARLESTON IS A SEAPORT IN SOUTH CAROLINA, IN THE UNITED STATES’ SOUTHEASTERN REGION. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PORTS AUTHORITY OWNS AND OPERATES SIX PUBLIC TERMINALS IN THREE MUNICIPALITIES: CHARLESTON, NORTH CHARLESTON, AND MOUNT PLEASANT.

Within a few days of booking, our US agents, with whom we have a solid partnership, will arrange for the collection of your car from your address or the address of the person you purchased it from.
Your car is insured during any move under our terms and conditions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, but please rest assured that we have spent a long time identifying reputable logistic partners.

We’ll load your car into its shipping container with the utmost care and attention after it arrives at our facility. Our agents on the ground in the United States have been handpicked for their professionalism and attention to detail when dealing with cars.

Shipping a car, especially from the United States, can be a daunting time. We recognise that during this time you will most likely be anxious to know it is safely past the port gates, cleared through customs, and on its way to our premises.

Once your car is in the hands of a logistics company, it is covered even if it is not on the sea. So this is also additional peace of mind that we hope makes you feel a little more at ease handing over the keys to your American car.
