Importing a motor vehicle into the UK
Motor vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, and we can usually help with most of them.
As far as the actual shipping is concerned, there are several options available. These are:
01. Full Container Load (FCL)
This is where your car will be in a Container on its own.
02. Shared Container Load (LCL)
This is a similar service to the above, but as it indicated in the name, your vehicle will be in Container with other vehicles/goods.
03. Air Cargo
This is the quickest method of shipping any vehicle, but is also usually the most expensive.
04. By Road
By road this means the vehicle is either towed or on the back of truck/transporter.
05. Under its own steam
And No, steam does not mean your vehicle being an old steam engine. If it is a road-vehicle, then this would usually either be via the Eurotunnel or via ferry. If it is a boat, then sailed into a Port/Harbour or Marina and if it is an aircraft, then flown into one of the UK’s airfields/aerodromes.
