Car shipping to United Kingdom
Getting a car to United Kingdom means an ocean booking through an international freight forwarder, which is not what we do. What we do is the leg before it: your door to the US port, priced properly and sent to licensed carriers.
Where the car sails from
Vehicles for United Kingdom load at Baltimore, Newark and arrive at Southampton, and Liverpool on some services. A left-hand-drive American car is legal to use in Britain but has to be put on the register, and a vehicle under ten years old faces a far heavier approval process than an older one. Settle that question before you book the sailing, not after.

What we quote, and what we do not. The companies in our panel hold US domestic operating authority. The form below prices the road leg from your address to the departure port and sends it to carriers who run it. The international leg is booked separately, and anyone who quotes you both as one number without naming the vessel is guessing.
United Kingdom car shipping FAQ
How much does it cost to transport a car to United Kingdom?+
United Kingdom is reached by sea, so the cost is a container or a roll-on roll-off booking rather than a mileage rate, and it is quoted by an international freight forwarder. Roll-on roll-off is usually the cheaper of the two and a shared container the next. What we price is the leg before that: getting the car from your door to the US port.
How long does it take?+
Weeks rather than days once the car is aboard, and the sailing schedule matters more than the distance. Add the road time to the port, the export filing window, and customs clearance at the far end.
Can you ship my car to United Kingdom?+
Not the ocean leg. The companies in our panel hold US domestic operating authority, and sending them an overseas request wastes everybody's time. What they do run is the mainland leg to the port, and we will quote that properly. For the ocean leg you want an international freight forwarder.
