Transporting a Car from Ukraine to the United Kingdom: A Complete Guide for Clients
Transporting a vehicle abroad may seem complex, but the process is entirely manageable when you understand the main requirements.
Many Ukrainians now ship cars to the United Kingdom — whether moving permanently, selling a vehicle, or sending it to family.
This guide explains everything you need to know to ensure a smooth and problem-free transport.
1. How we transport vehicles
We transport cars exclusively on car carriers (recovery trucks/transporters).
This method is reliable, safe and suitable for any type of vehicle.
Your car is securely fixed to the platform, which minimises the risk of damage during the journey.
2. Required documents
If the car is transported from Ukraine to the UK
You only need:
-
the vehicle registration certificate (technichnyi pasport)
-
a Green Card insurance policy (required for driving through Europe)
Nothing else is required.
If the car is transported from the UK to Ukraine or Europe
You will need:
-
the vehicle registration certificate
-
T1 export documents
This is the standard procedure for exporting a vehicle from the United Kingdom.
3. Preparing the vehicle before loading
Before your car is loaded onto the transporter, please ensure:
-
around ¼ tank of fuel
-
all personal items removed from the cabin and boot
-
battery and tyres checked
-
a few photos taken for your own peace of mind
4. Delivery time
Transport by car carrier usually takes:
4–7 days, depending on the route.
5. Useful tips
-
Do not leave documents, money or valuables inside the vehicle.
-
Inform us in advance if the car is very low (sports car) or has non-standard dimensions.
Summary
We transport vehicles quickly, safely and with full responsibility.
Everything is handled clearly, honestly and without unnecessary
complications — from loading to final delivery.
