What does it cost to ship a car to the UK?
It depends almost entirely on where the car is starting from. These are guide prices, built from a year’s worth of real jobs.

Shipping only
Registration not included, additional services not included, import tax not included, remedial fees not included.
Motorbikes come in cheaper than any car route here, from £1,250 wherever they start from, because they travel in shared containers.
We’ve left Europe out because those cars come by road, not sea.

We show Australia and New Zealand together, because that’s how the route is priced. Rest of world covers every origin without a figure of its own.
Your car won’t be the guide price. The port, the size of the vehicle, whether it shares a container and how quickly you need it all move the number. Ask and we’ll price the actual route.
