car shipping to zambia

Ship Cars Ltd offers great value for money car shipping to Zambia via the port of Walvis Bay. Zambia is inland so our services are by vehicle carrier twice a week. We’ve been shipping cars to Zambia for over 15 years.  Our daily UK vehicle collection service offers our customers the flexibility to have their vehicles transported to the port without any worry of delivery times by trade plate driver, car carrier or on a low loader.  JEVIC inspections are no longer required in the UK prior to shipping to Zambia.  This is now performed upon arrival in Zambia.

As a nationally recognised international vehicle shipping company in the UK, trust is never an issue with us. We’ve been successfully shipping all types of vehicle to Zambia for over 10 years, from cars, vans, trucks, trailers and even plant machinery. Our professional staff will help you every step of the way. From issuing the documentation to assisting with customs clearance, we are there for you 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Car Shipping Costs To Zambia

The typical car shipping costs to Zambia will vary depending on the make and model. Saloon cars will be so much cheaper than say a 4 x 4. From Sheerness in Kent to arrival Walvis Bay will only cost £825 whereas a 4 x 4 starts from £895. The costs for clearance and delivery to Zambia will be advised at the time of request due to the fluctuation in the rate of exchange. When we work out our car shipping costs to Zambia, the height of a saloon car must not exceed 1.6mtrs high and a 4 x 4 must not exceed 2 mtrs high and be no larger than 18 CBM. When working out the costs to ship vans and trucks we would need to know the exact length, width and height in order for us to work out the rate for shipping to Namibia. Clearance and delivery in Namibia to Lusaka will also be worked out based on the vehicle make and model. We will always provide you with the very best rate for shipping your car, van, truck or trailer to Zambia from the UK.

Roll on/roll off vehicle shipping to Zambia

Roll on/roll off (also known as roro) offers a cheaper and a more effective way of shipping any self propelled or towable vehicle to Africa. These purpose built ships can accomodate thousands of vehicles at any one time. Safety onboard the vessel is taken very seriously with the crew trained to very high standards. All vehicles are secured below deck using straps to the front and to the rear of the vehicle. These straps are continually monitored by the crew to ensure optimum safety throughout its voyage. RoRo services operate 2 to 3 times per month from the UK with a transit time of approximately 25 days to Namibia and and extra 7-10 to Lusaka.
