Car shipping costs to Dar es Salaam

The costs to ship cars to Dar es Salaam vary depending on where we ship your vehicle from. Tilbury to Dar es Salaam is cheaper than if shipped from Teesport due to handling fees at the port being slightly more expensive.  You are now no longer allowed to load any goods inside the vehicle when shipped from either port. Vehicle shipping costs start from £1245.00 from Tilbury for a standard size saloon car or £1365 for an SUV.  Transit time takes approximately 29 days from port to port.

RORO car shipping to Dar es Salaam

Roll on/roll off, also known as RoRo in the vehicle shipping industry offers a cheaper way of shipping a car to Tanzania. Our regular sailings take about 26 days from the UK to Dar es Salaam port by sea and it is still the most preferred method of transport to Tanzania to date. The ease of loading and unloading the vessel makes this option a great choice for our customers which in turn helps us to keep our costs to you as low as possible.

The roll on/roll off vessel is a purpose built ship that has the capacity to hold over 2000 vehicles. From saloon cars, 4 x 4’s, trucks and trailers to huge pieces of plant machinery can be shipped on board at any one time safely across the ocean. All vehicles are parked and secured below deck using ratchet straps to the front and the rear, these straps are continually checked to ensure that all vehicles remain secure throughout the voyage. Safety on the ship is taken very seriously, any vehicle being shipped by roll on/roll off to Dar es Salaam and be assured that their vehicle is in safe hands from the moment it loads right up until it has been delivered to Tanzania.
