Japanese cars are world-renowned for their build quality, performance, and reliability. From everyday runabouts to rare JDM classics, sourcing a car from Japan is a great way to access unique models at competitive prices. But if the idea of navigating foreign markets, language barriers, and shipping logistics sounds overwhelming—don’t worry. We’re here to make it simple.
At Trans Global Logistics UK Limited, we offer complete support to source, ship, and import your Japanese car to the UK—saving you time, hassle, and money. Whether you’re an individual buyer or a trader, we’ve got your back from start to finish.
Why Source a Car from Japan?
- Access to exclusive models – Get JDM cars that aren’t sold in the UK market.
- Better condition & lower mileage – Japanese cars are often exceptionally well-maintained.
- Cost-effective – Even with shipping and import costs, many buyers find significant savings compared to UK prices.
We Help You Source the Right Car – Directly from Japan
Unlike many shipping agents, we don’t leave you to figure it out alone.
We’ll help you find and buy the right car.
We work with trusted partners and car dealers in Japan who can inspect, and shortlist vehicles based on your preferences. Whether you want to browse live auction listings or are after a specific model, we’ll guide you through every step.
We speak the language—literally.
We have Japanese-speaking staff in our UK office who can communicate directly with dealers in Japan on your behalf. This removes any miscommunication and ensures you get accurate information, photos, and honest assessments of the vehicle’s condition.
