Shipping a car to Zimbabwe from the UK requires careful planning and adherence to both UK and Zimbabwean regulations. Here’s a breakdown of the key information you need to know.
There are primarily two car shipping methods when sending a vehicle to Zimbabwe from the UK: RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) and container shipping.
RoRo is generally the most economical option for standard, running vehicles. The vehicle is driven onto the vessel and secured for sea transport. It is normally the preferred option where cost is the main consideration and the vehicle is being shipped without personal belongings.
For current RoRo prices and available vehicle shipping options, see our car shipping to Zimbabwe page.
Container shipping provides additional protection and may be suitable for high-value, classic, prestige or non-running vehicles. It can also be considered where a vehicle is being shipped alongside permitted personal effects.
