When arranging international car shipping to Greece, customers generally choose between two main transport methods. The best option depends on your vehicle type, budget and preferred level of protection.
Roll-on Roll-off shipping is the most common and cost-effective way to ship a car to Greece. With this method, vehicles are driven directly onto a specialised RoRo vessel at the departure port and secured inside the ship during transit. Since vehicles are transported without containers, this method provides lower shipping costs and efficient handling. RoRo transport is suitable for personal cars, used cars, SUVs, 4x4s, electric vehicles, and left-hand drive cars. Regular sailings from major UK ports make vehicle shipping to Greece both reliable and affordable.
Prefer extra protection for your vehicle during the journey to Greece? Container shipping loads your car securely inside a 20ft or 40ft container rather than driving it onto an open vessel, guarding against weather and handling damage throughout transit. This method is ideal for classic cars, high-value vehicles, dealership exports, or shipments combined with household goods, where extra security matters most. Customers relocating or exporting high-value vehicles frequently prefer container transport for the added security it provides. We offer flexible door-to-port and port-to-port options, with professional loading and lashing throughout the journey. See full container pricing and options on our container shipping to Greece page.

We organise vehicle exports from several major UK ports, ensuring efficient logistics and regular sailing schedules:
These ports handle frequent shipments for car export UK to Greece and vehicle shipping UK to Piraeus.
Door-to-Port Car Shipping: We collect your vehicle from your home or business anywhere in the UK and deliver it to the export port before shipping.

When shipping a vehicle to Greece, it’s essential to be aware of the import requirements to ensure a smooth process and compliance with Greek regulations.
Check current requirements with AADE (Independent Authority for Public Revenue), as regulations can change.
It’s advisable to consult with Greek customs authorities or a licensed customs broker for the most up-to-date and specific requirements, as regulations may change. Our team at Ascope Shipping can assist you in navigating these requirements and ensuring compliance with Greek import regulations.
Protecting your vehicle during overseas transport is essential, particularly on longer sea routes to Piraeus or Athens. We provide guidance on marine cargo insurance and vehicle transport coverage, including total loss protection, damage cover during loading and unloading, and protection against unforeseen transit risks. Insurance matters most for higher-value vehicles, where repair or replacement costs would be high if anything went wrong along the way, giving you genuine peace of mind throughout the journey.
Recommended steps:
If you’re exporting your vehicle permanently, UK law also requires you to notify the DVLA that the car is leaving the country.
When arranging international car shipping to Greece, certain items cannot be left inside the vehicle.
Restricted items include:
Removing restricted items ensures compliance with international shipping safety regulations.
The cheapest way to ship a car to Greece is typically RoRo shipping. Vehicles are driven onto a specialised vessel and secured for transport. Because no container is required, RoRo shipping significantly reduces loading and transport costs compared with container shipping.
