Hi, so are you trying to ship your car to the UK? Don’t worry; Candor Shipping has got you covered. We know it’s very stressful trying to get your ride overseas without emptying your bank. Let’s break it down for you.
Shipping your car to the UK? You have choices, like container, consolidation, air, or Ro-Ro. We can grab your car from spots like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain depending on where you are. We can even come to your crib in the UAE to pick it up, or if you want to save some cash, drop it off at our warehouse.
When it hits the UK, there’s more stuff you got to know. Your car will probably land at a big port like London Gateway, Southampton, Tilbury, or Felixstowe. These are like the main entry spots for cars coming into the UK. From there, we’ll either bring your car straight to your door, or you can grab it from the warehouse.
1. You can drop off your car at our warehouse, or we can come pick it up.
2. We’ll take your car to our warehouse and load it into a container for the trip. We snap some pictures of everything and share it to you accordingly.
3. Your car heads to the port, then ships to the UK. You can track it online whenever.
4. When it gets to the UK, you can either pick it up at the port once the clearance process is completed (door to port) or we can drop it at your door (door to door).
Major Ports in the United Kingdom
• London Gateway
• Port of Southampton
• Port of Tilbury
• Port of Felixstowe
Got a fancy car or a classic ride? Containers are the way to go. We can scoop it from you in the UAE, or you can bring it to our depot. We’ll strap your car down tight to keep it safe. And if there’s space in the container, you can toss in some other stuff too.
Dedicated Containers
This is the better option where your car gets its own container. You can even pack some of your personal items in with it.
Shared Containers
This cheaper option lets your car share a container with other cars. It’s still safe, but we’ll wait to fill the container before it ships out.
If you’re trying to save money, Ro-Ro is the move. These ships are made for cars, bikes, trucks, whatever’s got wheels. Your car is secured inside, protected from the weather. But your car got to be drive-ready, with just the basics, like a spare wheel. If you got extra stuff, you might want to go with a container instead.
Need your car in the UK ASAP ? Air freight is where it’s at. Yeah, it’s more expensive, but it’s quick, safe, and worth it for high-end cars. Plus, if you’re shipping a bike, air freight might even be cheaper, especially if you want to ride it around and then ship it back to the UAE. We can assist you.
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
Now, in the UK, you have to pay import duties and VAT (usually like 20%), You will be eligible for duty free entry if relocating.
And your car has to pass the UK’s Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test. This checks if the car’s good for UK roads. You might also need to tweak stuff on your car, like the headlights or speedometer from km/h to mph.
But don’t stress, Candor Shipping has got your back. We’ll take care of the entire process and paperwork, and when your car arrives in UK, we’ll make sure it’s ready to roll
