Car and Vehicle Shipping to Cyprus

Shipping a vehicle inside a container gives it the best protection and allows it to travel alongside your household effects, which is usually the most economical combination. A roll-on service can be quicker and suits larger or non-standard vehicles. Which is right depends on the vehicle, your timings and whether furniture is travelling too.

Vehicles ship with minimal fuel, must be clean inside and out, and cannot be used as extra storage — personal items left in the boot cause customs problems and are not insured. We provide a preparation checklist covering fuel level, alarms, roof boxes, spare keys and the documentation to hand over, and we photograph the condition at handover so there is no argument later.

Getting the car to Cyprus is the straightforward part; registering it is where people come unstuck. Cypriot import duty and VAT treatment depends on your residency position and how long you have owned the vehicle, and once imported it must be registered locally and pass a roadworthiness inspection. Our destination team guides clients through this every week and will tell you what to expect before you commit to shipping.
