Why ship a car to Guyana from the UK
The Ship Cars is a specialist UK vehicle export company moving cars, SUVs, classics, motorbikes and light commercials to Guyana every month. Caribbean importers favour shared 40ft container groupage out of Felixstowe and Tilbury into Kingston, Bridgetown and Port of Spain, with CARICOM Common External Tariff and per-island environmental levies forming the bulk of landed cost. Typical clients on this lane include private right-hand-drive buyers, alongside private owners relocating to Guyana and returning residents importing a personal vehicle. Our UK-to-Guyana corridor is engineered around predictable transit, transparent pricing and full compliance with Guyana customs.
Vehicles depart from Immingham, Liverpool, Tilbury and arrive at Georgetown via direct trans-Atlantic groupage from Felixstowe. Typical door-to-port turnaround is 18–24 days to georgetown from southampton, supported by marine all-risks insurance, GPS-tracked UK collection and bonded warehousing where required.
