Great service. Nick and his team did a great job shipping my car from Hong Kong. They make the process so easy.
Outstanding. Did exactly what was quoted for, good service, everything was very clear, a pleasure to deal with. I recommend SMC highly for importing cars to the UK.
I recently had the pleasure of working with ShipMyCar and couldn’t be happier with their service. Despite my absence for extended periods due to personal reasons, they managed the entire import process with remarkable efficiency. The team was consistently responsive, addressing any questions or concerns promptly. Their helpfulness shone through at every stage, offering clear guidance and support. For anyone looking to import a vehicle smoothly and without stress, I highly recommend ShipMyCar.
These guys have been amazing from start to finish with a tricky job of gaining a Nova for me with little to no details ! I’m very happy and the communication was excellent. I could not have done this without them. Special mention to Nick great job thank you.
Iam very satisfied with shipmycar company the help me from the start to finish and the are honest and helpful 👍 😀 😊 👌 🙂 😄 👍 😀 😊
Was a very long and stressful situation for us. We didn't know what we got ourselves into when purchasing a Jersey cat S car (thinking that being Jersey won't be hard to get it registered). Ship my car helped us with the procedure. It wasn't easy for either of us.. several months of chasing DVLA resubmitting our case to them and so on. By far I can tell I would have gave up long time ago but Ship My Car really tried their best and today we had the confirmation that the car has a Reg No. We are very happy and although sometimes you, as a customer, think it's the company's fault.. in fact it's the DVLA who's holding things back and giving you a hard time. So I would like to thank you for all of your time and patience wasted on my case. We appreciate Thanks
We've been using Ship My Car UK for several years and have recommended their services to many of our members - flawless service and professionalism with regular updates as well as constant stream of photographs detailing the condition of the vehicles throughout- from MK to LA or anywhere in the world, SMC are spot on every time
I imported my vehicle from New Zealand and used Ship My Car to help facilitate testing and registration on arrival into the UK. Nick and Kingsley were great to deal with, kept me informed and did all they could to help speed up the IVA and DVLA aspects of the process which too a lot longer than expected, but was out of Ship My Cars control. Fantastic company and I would recommend them if you are importing a car into the UK.
Very slow, too many mistakes. Told 3 to 4 weeks, ended up being 17 weeks. Just paperwork to register new vehicle from Germany. Their quote for shipping doubled in price when I asked them to confirm it, so I drove it back myself. Had to cancel plans for new vehicle several times, now too late. Would not have proceeded if I had known in advance. In response to SMC reply: That is not correct. The price you quoted for shipping the vehicle was originally £1500 but doubled to about £3000 when I was going to take you up on it, hence I chose to drive it to the UK myself. The first 2 weeks were wasted as the person doing the VCA & DVLA applications was away and nobody filled in for her. You then submitted an application where the description did not match the description you had already supplied for Customs/VAT. The authorities wasted several weeks reaching that point then another 2 weeks posting it all back to you so that you could correct it. Then you failed to have sufficient funds in your account to pay the tax, so once again the authorities wasted several weeks reaching that point then another 2 weeks posting it all back to you. Granted DVLA & VCA are extremely slow and do not appear to be able to use email to speed the process, but it was your mistakes that exacerbated this. Furthermore, you should have been aware of their delays when you quoted 3 to 4 weeks which I relied upon.
I couldn't fault this company at all. From start to finish SMC were attentive, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. They pretty much think of everything that's required for an easy process. Special shout out to Kingsley and his exceptional support, knowledge and patience. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you SMC.
From initial shipping, tracking the ship across the ocean, receipt to the workshop, all the work they did. Some delays beyond their control -IVA etc, but well communicated and taken care of . End of the story, car delivered to my house, in perfect condition and runs great :)
SMC provided a really easy Customs and NOVA declaration for my privately imported car. They couldn't do enough to help me and I was able to talk to a real person with ease. Highly recommended!
Shipmycar were helpful (Nick), made a difficult process easy and were very quick with their turnaround. I would definitely recommend them. Also their price is very reasonable aswell. Well done Shipmycar.co.uk.
Since I couldn't give 4.5 stars - 5 stars it is... I had an Audi Q5 shipped from South Africa to UK, quoted time frame was 12 weeks from collection, it was ready exactly 15 weeks later - no fault of SMC with DVLA taking more time than they had quoted to actually register the car and shipping delays out of SA. The whole process was fairly smooth and effortless, initially quoted for RoRo, but since those where no available it was containerised. This seemed counterintuitive to me as I was based in the port city that the vehicle would eventually leave from, but needed to be packed in JHB some 600km away. The hassle was all taken care of, my car was fetched from my door, stored, packed, photo's sent, and then I could track it online all the way to London. Only reason I would give half a star less is that there was a long period of communication silence between car being collected and it being shipped - I needed to chase regularly and ended up staying in touch with the South African export agent for updates. Every time I dropped an email or called the office I got a response almost instantly, and getting my car back in the UK was definitely a pleasure!
Very professional service. Reasonable price. Our car was arrived from Hk to Uk perfectly. Very Responsive and actively refund the non necessary option service (very surprised)!
I have now used Ship My Car, at least 7 times, including shipping from the US, New Zealand, Australia and most recently, South Africa. They have made the process completely painless each time, nothing has been too much trouble, including handling the UK registration process. The portal is superb, easy to use, and makes for fantastic communications. I cant recommend them highly enough, and they will always be my go-to company for moving cars around the world.

It is rare to meet a company as fast and efficient as this. It has been a pleasure from start to finish.
ShipMyCar thanks for your help quick communication and good services 10/10, I recommend this people 👌. I will do business with you again.
Excellent service from start to finish. Always promptly responded to emails/phone calls. Completed all the necessary modifications to my car to comply with UK regulations, dealt with US agents, shipping company, customs and DVLA seamlessly and provided a useful private portal for uploading documents and checking on progress. Thoroughly recommend them

Jan 30,2025Nick was a huge help in getting the NOVA process completed on my recent import. Couldn’t have been more helpful and kept chasing until the document arrived. Used them before with similar results. Highly reccomend
