2. Introduction
Welcome to our shipping guide
where we have put together items
to consider when shipping your
car, it is quite important to go
through and understand these
areas allowing you to have a
hassle free experience.

3. It is important to know how long a
company has been in business for, with
the internet it has become easy to find
information on companies including who
the directors are and when the company
was established. Please go
see https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/
Things to look out for include

4. The location of the business is also
important, Go to Google Maps > Street
View and type in their post code.
Being members of BIFA or any other
freight forwarding association allows
you to also have more credibility as a
business.

5. Generally cost effective in terms of
shipping costs as well as costs at
destination. Cars are driven on and off
the ship and therefore are handled by
multiple parties along the chain. This
sometimes is seen as not being the safest
method .
RoRo Vehicle Shipping

6. RORO is the simplest and cheapest method of
shipping for vehicles.
Vehicles are driven directly onto the RORO vessel
and secured to the car decks. They are securely
inside the vessel, wind-and-watertight.

7. This is a very secure form of shipment as
the vehicle is driven into the container and
the container is then opened up at
destination. This leads to very minimal
handling as well as being a very secure way
of car shipment. Often a bit more expensive
however highly recommended for shipping
high value cars.
Container Vehicle Shipping

8. With container shipping, there is the
requirement to “stuff” the container and
costs of haulage to and from the port.
Container shipping is not available for all
vehicles, the maximum door height for a
20″ and 40″ HQ are 2.27m and 2.58m
respectively, which quite often means
that motor homes,

9. Air Freight
Extremely quick way of shipping
vehicles however equally expensive.
Not the most popular method of
shipment however is used often when it
involved high value cars.
Air freight parcel delivery is the
transfer and shipment of goods via an
air carrier, which may be charter or
commercial.

10. Shipping by air also offers the
advantage of a high level of security
as airport controls over cargo are
tightly managed. air freight is now
regarded as an efficient means to
ship nationally and internationally.
