Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Southampton a hub for UK car exports?
Southampton Docks is one of the UK's largest deep-sea vehicle terminals, with regular RORO and container sailings to Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, making local collections fast and cost-effective.
How much does it cost to collect a car within Southampton itself?
A local collection within Southampton typically starts from £45, given the very short distances to the docks.
Do you also collect from Portsmouth and Fareham?
Yes, Portsmouth, Fareham, Eastleigh and the wider South Hampshire coast are all part of our standard Southampton coverage.
Can you meet a tight sailing cut-off time?
Yes, being based so close to the docks we can usually arrange same-day collection and loading right up to the carrier's cut-off time.
Do you handle container loading appointments at Southampton?
Yes, we book and manage container loading slots at approved Southampton facilities as part of the shipping process.
