International car transport guide needed - MutedNewt - 02-24-2026
Does your car transport guide cover overseas shipping? I am moving from New York to London and need to understand RoRo vs. container shipping, as well as the customs paperwork for 2026 imports.

I haven’t shipped overseas myself, but from what I’ve read you’re right to compare RoRo vs container options - RoRo is usually cheaper but less protected, while container shipping keeps your car secure from the elements. You also need to handle customs docs, duties, and import rules for the UK. The https://monarchtg.com/blog/complete-guide-to-car-shipping-in-2026/ guide goes over these topics and helps explain the basics you’ll need before booking.
