Why ship a car to Fiji from the UK
The Ship Cars is a specialist UK vehicle export company moving cars, SUVs, classics, motorbikes and light commercials to Fiji every month. Oceania is one of the most rewarding long-haul corridors for UK exporters thanks to the natural fit of right-hand-drive vehicles, established personal-import schemes and strict compliance frameworks. Container shipping to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Fremantle and Auckland is the standard route. Typical clients on this lane include RAWS-registered Australian importers, alongside private owners relocating to Fiji and returning residents importing a personal vehicle. Our UK-to-Fiji corridor is engineered around predictable transit, transparent pricing and full compliance with Fiji customs.
Vehicles depart from Felixstowe, Southampton, Bristol (Portbury) and arrive at Suva via Cape routing for oversize and project cargo. Typical door-to-port turnaround is 35–50 days to suva from southampton (via transhipment), supported by marine all-risks insurance, GPS-tracked UK collection and bonded warehousing where required. For an instant indication of cost, use our car shipping cost calculator or request a tailored quote on our quote page.
