Container Vehicle Shipping from the UK

Container shipping provides the highest level of protection for international vehicle transport. Your car is loaded into a steel shipping container — either a dedicated 20ft/40ft unit or a shared container with other vehicles — and sealed for the entire journey.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between shared and exclusive containers?

A shared container holds 2–4 vehicles from different customers heading to the same destination, splitting the cost. An exclusive container is booked solely for your vehicle(s), offering maximum privacy and space for personal items.

Can I ship personal items in the container?

Yes! This is one of the biggest advantages of container shipping. You can fill remaining space with boxes, furniture, or other personal effects.

How are vehicles secured inside the container?

Vehicles are secured using wheel chocks, ratchet straps, and custom bracing. For high-value vehicles, we use soft ties and additional padding to prevent any movement.

Is container shipping insured?

Yes, all container shipments through Ship Cars include comprehensive marine transit insurance covering the full declared value of your vehicle.
