Is my car at risk from the other vehicles in the container?
No — each vehicle is independently lashed and chocked, with a 30 cm clearance between cars. Damage from co-loaded vehicles is statistically negligible across our network.
Shared Container Shipping Guide — Split Costs, Same Service
Shared 40ft container shipping cuts per-vehicle cost by 35–55%. Here is how it works, which lanes it runs on, and how to book a slot.
Frequently asked questions
Can I include personal effects?
Up to 1 cubic metre per car. They must be itemised on the manifest.
What if the container is delayed waiting for a second car?
We commit to a sailing window. If consolidation slips past the window we switch your car to the next available dedicated 20ft at our cost — you do not pay the upgrade.
Can two friends ship together in a shared 20ft?
Yes — a 20ft fits 2 small cars (Mini, Smart, Fiat 500) with R-Rak. We call this a joint dedicated. For two standard cars, a shared 40ft works out cheaper per car.
