Car Shipping to Australia from UK

To Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne & Sydney etc...

Are you relocating to Australia? If so, then we can help with any of your International car shipping requirements. We reguarly ship both saloons and 4 x 4 vehicles on our roll on roll off services, our Ro/Ro shipping services sail from the port of Southampton to either Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne or Sydney every 2 weeks with a transit time of approximately 40 days. Our roll on/roll off shipping services are extremely secure as vehicles are parked on to the lower deck of the vessel away from the challenging elements that the ship can endure in high seas and turbulent weather.

Before shipping a vehicle to Australia you must first consider their 'Personal Imports Scheme' this allows people settling in Australia along with Australian citizens returning home permanently to take their personal vehicles with them. At present under the scheme, all applicants must have been a resident in a foreign country for a continuous period of at least 12 months, during which time they owned and used the imported vehicle. Applicants intending on moving to Australia must intend to change their residence by becoming a permanent Australian resident and to remain in Australia indefinitely. It is strongly advisable to make your application within 6 months of arriving in Australia.

If you have a high valued vehicle it is advisable to ship it in either a 20ft or a 40ft container, a full condition report can be arranged and digital photographs taken before the container is sealed with a tamper proof seal. Your vehicle will be completely secured by wheel chocks and straps and once your container is sealed it will be craned on to the vessel ready for the next weekly shipment. The container vessels mostly sail from the port of Felixstowe with a transit time of approximately 55 days. We do offer alternative departure ports from the UK, please ask for further details.

Our International container ports in Australia are as follows; Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, Tasmania (Bell Bay) and also Darwin.
