How It Works?

So you want to ship your vehicle? The first question you should ask yourself is how do you want to ship it? There are 2 methods that you can choose from, RoRo and Container Lets briefly look at what may help you decide which method to use. ROLL-ON-ROLL-OFF

Also known as “RoRo”, the vehicle is driven onto the vessel and driven off at the destination port. Think of it as a very big ocean going ferry for vehicles. Vehicle’s are are secured beneath deck to securing point on the floor using straps so that the vehicle does not move whist in transit. The advantage of using the RoRo service is that it is more cost effective that using the container option, the only dis-advantage is that you cannot put any personal effects inside the vehicle on the RoRo service. On occasion dependent on the service you can load items inside vehicles at your own risk but we need to know your intentions prior to shipment to confirm if you are able. If you need to include other items in your shipment then we do recommend contanerised shipment as your best option.

EXPORT PAPERWORK

This is very important to check BEFORE you ship your vehicle abroad. Does the country that you want to ship your vehicle to allow you to import your vehicle? Are you required to have an import license in place before your ship it? This is where Elite can help as well, if you are not sure as to what you have to ask or who to ask for answers to theses questions, we can either answer them for you or point you in the right direction to the people or government office that can provide you with the answer that you are looking for. It is always the shippers responsibility to check this information prior to booking a shipment. Once you are sure that you can ship your vehicle to the country you want, we take care of all the relevant UK export paperwork on your behalf, this includes the UK customs entry.

You guys are so great! Thank you so much for your help for the delivery. Look forward to working with you again in the future.

MARINE INSURANCE

This is an optional service that we can offer you via our insurance broker. It isn’t a requirement that you have to have marine insurance in place before you export your vehicle but it is advisable and prudent to do so. It is highly unlikely that your vehicle will incur any damage in this day and age of modern shipping but you will have the piece of mind that if in the unlikely event that something does happen, your vehicle is covered. Ask us for a quote for marine insurance, we think you will be surprised at how little it actual costs in comparison to the benefits of having it.
