Car shipping by Land Transport
Since Oman is a close neighbour of the UAE, we offer car shipping services through land transport as our primary mode of auto transport between the two countries. There are a couple of methods of land transport available. It can be shipped by a special surface truck called the recovery truck. This could be either an open dedicated recovery or a closed dedicated recovery truck. This is the rather luxurious mode of land transport as these vehicles will be solely transporting your vehicle. It is the fastest and the safest mode of land transport. It is preferred by our customers mostly due to this reason. Your car will be delivered within 2-3 days, depending on the destination city and the customs clearance process.
There is also the option of the shared car carrier. Your vehicle will be transported in a two storey car carrier with around 7 more vehicles. This is considered the budget option of auto transport and is considerably slower than the recovery truck. This is mostly used by car showrooms and shipping companies who have the need to bulk auto transport. Although it is considered the budget option, it still is very reliable, safe and will deliver your car within a week, depending on the destination city and the customs clearance process.
Car shipping through land transport is certainly a unique method of transportation that is offered to our customers due to the close proximity.

Car shipping in Containers
Car shipping in containers is the most common method of auto transport. We can either collect the vehicle from any address in Oman or you can deliver it yourself to a nominated depot and save some money as well. We can either ship it to Dubai 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 UAE. Consolidated container is the more economical option with your car sharing the shipping journey to the UAE 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 Dubai.
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 auto transport 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 from Oman to Dubai – UAE, 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 UAE to avoid unwanted claims of lost possessions.
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 auto transport needs with a tight deadline. However, it does tend to be comparatively more expensive than the other modes of car shipping. We collaborate with the Muscat International airport, Salalah Airport, Sohar airport and Duqm airport for this method of car shipping and we are able to deliver your vehicle to any of the major airports within the UAE. We have authorised agents from all the major airports in Dubai – UAE 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.
