The Ship Cars vs Anglo Pacific
A large, long-established general shipping firm vs a specialist focused purely on vehicles.
Anglo Pacific is one of the UK's largest and longest-running international shipping and removals companies, handling tens of thousands of shipments each year covering baggage, household removals, fine art, and vehicles. Vehicle shipping is one of several product lines they offer rather than their sole focus.
The Ship Cars is a dedicated vehicle shipping specialist. We don't move furniture or personal effects — every part of our operation, from crating to carrier relationships, is built around cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles crossing borders.
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Why Choose Ship Cars Over Anglo Pacific
Vehicle-Only Focus
Because Anglo Pacific handles baggage, furniture and fine art alongside vehicles, its vehicle-shipping expertise sits within a broader generalist operation. The Ship Cars deals with vehicles exclusively, which tends to mean deeper carrier relationships and processes tuned specifically to cars and bikes.
Real-Time Tracking
The Ship Cars provides live shipment tracking as standard. Large generalist movers more commonly rely on milestone or email updates rather than continuous tracking.
Classic & High-Value Vehicle Handling
Enclosed transport, custom crating and insurance tailored to classic or high-value cars are core to The Ship Cars' offering, whereas this isn't typically advertised as a specialism for general removal firms.
Where Anglo Pacific Falls Short
Vehicle Shipping Is One of Many Services
As a broad-based removals and shipping company, Anglo Pacific's resources and specialist knowledge are spread across many cargo types, which may mean less depth specifically in vehicle logistics compared with a dedicated shipper.
Less Transparent Vehicle-Specific Pricing
Instant online quotes are geared mainly toward baggage and household removals; vehicle-specific pricing may require a bespoke quote rather than an instant calculator result.
Our Verdict
Anglo Pacific is a large, well-established shipping company with a broad service range and decades of trading history, which can suit customers moving household goods alongside a vehicle. For customers whose priority is vehicle shipping specifically — with specialist handling, real-time tracking and vehicle-tailored insurance — The Ship Cars' narrower focus is likely to offer a more tailored experience.
