When it comes to getting your car to France, you got options: container, consolidation, air, or Ro-Ro. Depending on where you are, we can grab your car from spots like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain. We can roll up to your crib in the UAE and pick up your car, or if you’re looking to save some cash, you can drop it off at our port.
For France, your car’s most likely going to land at major seaports like Marseille, Le Havre, or even Dunkirk, before it gets transported to where you need it. These ports are the gateway for cars heading to cities like Paris, Lyon, or Marseille.
