Car Shipping Options to Cyprus

When considering the best way to ship a car to Cyprus, you have two main choices:

RORO Car Shipping to Cyprus

RoRo (Roll-on, Roll-off) is usually the most economical option for standard, running vehicles travelling from the UK to Cyprus. The vehicle is driven onto the vessel, secured for transport and unloaded at Limassol. This option is ideal for:

  • Standard saloon cars and 4x4s
  • Vans and minibusses
  • Trucks, tractors, and other self-propelled machinery

Container Car Shipping to Cyprus

Container shipping is suitable for high-value, luxury and classic vehicles, as well as non-running vehicles or shipments where personal belongings need to travel with the car. Depending on the vehicle and shipment requirements, we can advise on the most suitable container option.

 

If you need extra protection for a high-value or luxury vehicle, or you’re sending personal belongings alongside your car, please check our dedicated container shipping to Cyprus page.

Cyprus Car Import and Customs Requirements

Importing a vehicle into Cyprus involves customs and documentation requirements that depend on your circumstances, residency status and the vehicle being imported. We can help you understand the shipping documentation and export process, but you should confirm the current import requirements directly with Cyprus Customs before shipping.

 

  • Vehicle must be owned and used for at least 6 months before import.
  • Import must be completed within 12 months of changing residency.
  • EU residents need 6-month residency proof; non-EU residents need a work permit
  • Original V5C/logbook is required for clearance, alongside DVLA permanent export notification (complete the V5C/4 section with DVLA before your vehicle leaves the UK)
  • Proof of home ownership or rental agreement in Cyprus is needed.
  • Supporting documents like utility bills and bank statements may be required.
  • Importer must attend customs personally with their passport.

Check current requirements with the Cyprus Customs and Excise Department, as regulations can change.

Marine Insurance for Car Shipping to Cyprus

We recommend marine cargo insurance for every vehicle shipped to Cyprus. 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.

Before your vehicle departs the UK, make sure to:

 

  • Clean the vehicle thoroughly, inside and out
  • Remove all personal belongings

  • Check that the vehicle is in full working order, since a non-running car may require container shipping rather than RoRo
  • Keep spare keys ready to hand over at collection
  • Have your documentation organised and easily accessible for customs officials and port staff
