Car Shipping

Budget Shipping are the UK's leading shippers. Budget Shipping are fully bonded members of the British Association of Removers (BAR Overseas), FIDI (International Furniture Movers Association), and of HHGFAA and NMSA (USA). The BAR bonding scheme provides similar customer protection to that of ABTA. We do not recommend shipping your vehicle with a non-bonded (non-BAR Overseas) shipping company.

We specialise in shipping motor vehicles from the UK to both Australia and New Zealand. A selection of different car shipping options are available - cars can be shipped in "sole use" or share containers or on the enclosed car decks of ocean going RORO car ferries.

Containers

Container shipping encompasses a number of different options. We offer 20ft or 40ft FCL "sole use" container services with only your vehicle(s) in the container to various ports in Australia and New Zealand. This involves your car being secured within a container with straps and wheel chocks to hold it in place. You effectively pay for the sole use of the container, for your vehicle only. (A number of options are available - at extra cost - should you have other goods and wish to ship them at the same time).

We also have frequent shared container services to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide in Australia and to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in New Zealand. Your car is loaded into the container, and a crate is custom-built around it to protect your vehicle in transit. You pay only for the space taken up within the container by your timber framed vehicle. We then load the rest of the container with other goods (baggage, personal and household effects, and furniture). Your vehicle is fully enclosed in transit by a 4" (10cm) timber frame.

Again, a number of options are available - at an extra cost - should you have other goods and wish to ship them.

Ocean Going RORO Car Ferry
Selected ports destinations are also served by ocean going roll on roll off car ferry (RORO) services. Such vessels are purpose-built car carriers, used by manufacturers to deliver brand new vehicles around the world. Cars are protected from the elements in enclosed car decks and are secured by straps and chocks. Service frequency is usually once or twice a month and the transit time is sometimes longer than container vessels, but there can be useful cost savings on some routes over container shipment.
