How container vehicle shipping works
Your vehicle is collected or delivered to an approved loading location, inspected and positioned inside a container using the agreed loading and securing arrangements. Vehicle dimensions and condition determine feasibility.
Ask whether the proposal is a shared or dedicated container arrangement, if available. The loading date, consolidation requirements and vessel space can affect departure timing.
What can travel with the vehicle?
Do not assume household items or spare parts can be packed into the vehicle or container. Contents need explicit approval, an accurate inventory and compliance with carrier, customs and destination requirements.
Disclose a non-running vehicle, damage or unusual dimensions before booking. Loading equipment, securing and handling costs may change.
Compare the complete cost
Request an explanation of collection, inland transport, loading, ocean freight, export paperwork and destination handling. Confirm how destination clearance and container release will be managed.
Container shipping is not a guarantee against damage or delay. Request the applicable carrier terms, insurance options, limits and claims procedure in writing.
