Frequently asked questions
Is my luxury car safe in a shipping container?
Yes. Dedicated containers provide maximum protection. Your vehicle is the sole occupant, professionally secured with soft straps, wheel chocks, and protective covers inside a sealed steel container.
Can I ship a car worth over £1 million?
Absolutely. We regularly ship vehicles valued at seven figures. Agreed-value insurance, dedicated containers, and premium handling are standard for ultra-high-value shipments.
Do you offer enclosed transport to the port?
Yes. For luxury vehicles, we arrange fully enclosed car transporters for the journey from your location to the departure port and from the destination port to the final address.
Can I ship two supercars in one container?
Yes — a 40ft container with internal racking takes two cars vertically separated by a steel rack. Used routinely for collector shipments (e.g. two Ferraris together). Adds £450-£800 in racking but halves the per-car freight on dedicated container service.
Do I need to remove the battery on a hypercar shipment?
Depends on the car. Most modern luxury cars need the battery in to maintain ECU, alarm and Transport Mode settings. Hypercars with race-derived electronics (McLaren Senna, Aston Valkyrie) often ship with the battery disconnected per manufacturer service-mode instructions. Always defer to the marque's official transport procedure — handed to us at collection or supplied by the OEM.
