Methods of Car Shipping to UK
Car Shipping Dubai – CSD, being one of the best car shipping companies in the world, offers several methods of handling car shipping for you, each method with its own benefits and advantages. All 3 methods are applicable for car shipping from Dubai and the other UAE nations to the UK.
Car shipping by Air Freight
Car shipping by Air Freight is the quickest method of car shipping in our arsenal, so it is advisable to utilise this method for urgent car shipping needs with a tight deadline. However, it does tend to be comparatively more expensive than the other modes of car shipping. Some of the major airports that we collaborate with for this method of car shipping in the UAE are Dubai International airport, Abu Dhabi International airport and Sharjah International airport among others and we are able to deliver your vehicle to any of the major airports in the UK. We have authorised agents from all the major airports in the UK to handle your shipment and from the major airlines to the freight services, we have all necessary authorities onboard for the car shipping through air freight.
Car shipping in Containers
Car shipping in containers is the most common method of car shipping. We can either collect the vehicle from any UAE address or you can deliver it yourself to a nominated depot and save some money as well. We can either ship it to the UK through dedicated containers or consolidated containers. Dedicated container, albeit more expensive, provides the car with its own container where you can use the rest of the space ideally for a reasonable number of personal effects and items to take to the UK. Consolidated container is the more economical option with your car sharing the shipping journey to the UK in the container with one or two more cars in it. 20 foot and 40 foot containers are available for both shipping options. In both methods of shipping, our loading team will securely strap your vehicle for a safe shipping journey as it leaves off for the UK.
Car shipping by Roll On-Roll Off (RoRo)
Ro–Ro ships are large car ferries with no passenger accommodation used commonly for car shipping. This method of car shipping is suitable for shipping anything containing wheels including any type of vehicle from heavy-duty tanks and trucks to motorcycles. This is also the most cost-effective method of car shipping of the lot. However, you would be mistaken to disregard this option as the ‘cheap car shipping option’ as the vehicles are all securely loaded onto the ship and are completely safe in the shipping journey to the UK, even from the elements. However, It is advisable to remove all personal belongings and effects from the vehicle apart from the key prior to shipping to the UK to avoid unwanted claims of lost possessions.
