We ship Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin and other luxury marques from the UK on dedicated container services with enclosed transporter collection across mainland Britain.
Every luxury booking carries agreed-value marine cover, condition photography at load and seal at destination.
Quick Answer
Luxury car shipping from the UK uses sole-use 20ft or 40ft containers with custom bracing, soft-strap tie-downs and signed-and-sealed loading. Enclosed UK transport collects from your home, dealer or auction, and agreed-value marine insurance covers the full declared value. Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Maserati and Bugatti shipped worldwide.
A luxury car booking starts with an independent valuation or recent invoice that sets the agreed value for the marine policy. We photograph the vehicle at collection, at the loading depot, inside the container before sealing, and at destination opening — a documented chain of custody from your door to the destination port.
Most luxury bookings move in sole-use 20ft containers from London Gateway, Southampton or Tilbury. Heavier and longer GT cars, Phantoms and limited-edition Lamborghinis travel in 40ft containers with two-car bracing. We do not consolidate sole-use luxury vehicles with other customers' cars.
