Shipping a Car to Europe? Here’s How to Do It by Air, Road or Sea

Whether you’re moving abroad, selling a vehicle overseas, or helping a client transport a high-value car, shipping a car from the UK to Europe requires planning, reliability, and the right logistics partner. At Trans Global Logistics UK Limited, we specialise in helping individuals and businesses ship cars to all major European countries using the most suitable transport method by air, road, or sea. Here’s how each method works, and how to decide which one is right for your shipment.
1. Air Freight is for urgent or high-value vehicle shipments. When time is critical for example, if a client needs their vehicle delivered within 24 to 72 hours, air freight is the premium choice. It’s also the preferred method for transporting prestige, exotic, or collector cars that require extra care. Our air freight service includes:
 Express international delivery
 Custom crating and secure handling
 Trusted global airline partnerships
 Full customs documentation and clearance
If you need to ship a car quickly and securely, this is the fastest and most reliable method.
2. Road Transport is a fast, direct, and cost-effective for Europe. It is often the first choice for shipments within mainland Europe. It offers a direct, flexible, and cost-effective solution, particularly for destinations such as France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. This is an ideal option for car dealers, auction houses, or businesses regularly needing to ship a car or a fleet across Europe. Whether you’re moving one car or several at once, we provide:
 Open or enclosed car transporters
 Door-to-door service with full insurance
 Real-time GPS tracking
 Flexible pickup and delivery scheduling
3. Sea Freight is Ideal for long distance. When you’re shipping to a coastal destination or want to keep costs down, sea freight can be a smart choice. It’s especially well-suited for less urgent shipments, or when moving boats or high-volume vehicle cargo. Many clients choose sea freight to ship a car to Southern Europe or island destinations, especially when time is flexible and value is a priority. We handle everything from port documentation to secure loading, and offer:
 RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) for standard vehicles
 Container shipping for high-value, vintage, or exotic cars Which shipping method should you choose?
The best option depends on your timeline, destination, vehicle type, and budget. If speed and convenience are important, road transport is perfect for direct European routes. If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution and don’t mind longer delivery times, sea freight works well. If time is of the essence or the vehicle is high-value, air freight provides peace of mind. Still not sure which is best for your needs? We’ll help you make the right decision to ship a car smoothly and confidently.
