Thinking about shipping your car to Portugal? No problem, Candor Shipping’s got you covered. We know it isn’t easy, trying to get your ride all the way there without blowing your budget. So let’s keep it straightforward.
Shipping your car to Portugal? You’ve got options: container, consolidation, air, or Ro-Ro. Depending on where you’re at, we can get your car from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain. We can swing by your place in the UAE to grab your car, or if you want to save some cash, you can drop it off at our Warehouse.
Now, when it comes to Portugal, your car’s probably going to land at one of the major seaports like Lisbon, Porto, or Sines. These ports are well-connected, making it easy to move your car inland, no matter where you’re headed in Portugal.

Major Ports in Portugal
• Port of Lisbon

Got a luxury car, a sports car, or a classic? Containers are the way to go. We can pick it up from you in the UAE, or you can bring it to our depot. However you do it, we’ll make sure your car is strapped down tight. And if there’s extra space, feel free to throw in some other stuff.
Dedicated Containers
It’s the safest option, and your car gets its own container. You can pack some personal belongings with it too.
Shared Containers
Cheaper option since your car shares the container with others. Still safe though. We’ll wait to load until the container’s full.
This is the most cost-effective way to get your car to Portugal. Ro-Ro ships are made for cars, trucks—anything with wheels. Your car gets secured inside the ship, safe from the elements. But it’s got to be ready to drive, with just the basics like a spare tire. If you’ve got other stuff to ship, better use a container.
Air freight is pretty much for when you need your car there fast. If you’re trying to save money, you can fly it out and ship it back by sea. Air freight quick, safe, and for high-value rides, it can be worth it. For motorcycles, air freight might even be cheaper, especially if you’re planning to ride it around and then ship it back to UAE. Flights are more reliable when it comes to shipping.
Here’s what you’ll need for car export from UAE:
• Vehicle registration documents
• Export Certificate from the Roads and Transport Authority (If permanent export)
• Carnet de passage & Tourism certificate (If temporary export)
• Your identity documents such as passport, Visa or Business registration
When your car arrives in Portugal, be ready for the customs process. You’ll need to pay import duties and VAT (usually 23%). You will be eligible for duty free entry if relocating.
Portugal’s got some strict emissions standards too, so make sure your car’s compliant with the EU rules.
But don’t sweat it—Candor Shipping has got your back. We’ll take care of the entire process and paperwork, and when your car arrives in Portugal, we’ll make sure it’s ready to roll
