Welcome to First Base Freight - The International car shipping & House Removals specialists. We are Based in the UK we have a huge amount of experience in all aspects of car shipping and International House Removals - from cars and motorbikes to heavy plant machinery, trucks, household goods and much more - to any one of over 5000 destinations worldwide.
Our team are experts in the field of international car shipping & house removals; we’ve been doing it for years and have extensive knowledge that can streamline the whole process, reducing paperwork, hassle and costs to you. With a vast network of international contacts and shipping agents, we’re able to source some of the best rates available for both cargo and car shipping. With the facility to deliver almost any kind of vehicle, including boats, caravans and motorhomes, we’re able to offer exports from and imports to the UK with ease. It’s our goal to get your car shipping request completed as soon as possible and our international car shipping is handled by frequent Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro Ro) shipping vessels that dock at Southampton, Bristol, Sheerness, Bristol, Portsmouth, London etc.. - weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Roll on/Roll off shipping is literally driving your car up a ramp into a specific area of the ship’s hold and then driving it off again at the end of the journey. There are no risks from lifting or craning when using this method of car shipping. During transit your vehicle will be strapped down and secured to prevent any movement, and Ro Ro shipping is considered one of the safest and most cost effective way of international car shipping.
As an alternative to Roll on/Roll off (ro ro) services we also provide full container shipping services in either 20ft or 40ft secure containers to almost any destination worldwide. Your vehicle will be secured in much the same way as with Roll on/Roll off services, but container shipping is often used when extra cargo is to be shipped at the same time such as personal effects and household items - taking up the remaining space in the container.

I approached a number of International Shippers and obtained many rates, First Base Freight offered me a very competitive rate to Sydney for a 20ft container. There rates where so low I nearly never used them as I thought it may be a scam, however I am so glad that I did. My vehicle turned up in excellent condition and on time. The staff at First Base Freight are so helpful and friendly that I can't sing their praises enough. I would definitely recommend anyone to use First Base Freight, they are professional and contactable day and night and even weekends which helped as I am in Australia and our time difference can make things more difficult. Great choice of shipper, should seriously consider their services.
