Customs Duties and Taxes:

Marine Insurance for Car Shipping to Albania

We recommend marine cargo insurance for every vehicle shipped to Albania. Cover protects against damage, loss, or unforeseen risks during transit, and matters most for higher-value vehicles where repair or replacement costs would be significant if anything went wrong along the way.

DVLA Notification

If you’re exporting your vehicle permanently from the UK, you’re required to notify the DVLA that the car is leaving the country. We guide customers through this step as part of our car shipping to Albania service, so it’s never overlooked before departure.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping to Albania

Proper preparation reduces the risk of delays during inspection and loading.

Before your vehicle departs the UK, make sure to:

• Clean the vehicle thoroughly, inside and out
• Remove all personal belongings
• Leave the fuel tank low for safety during transit
• Keep spare keys ready to hand over at collection
• Have your documentation organised for port staff and customs officials
