How it works

Seven steps from your brief to your port.

You always know what happens next, who pays for it and when.

  1. 1

    Brief

    Complete the request form with the vehicle, budget, destination and timeline. We reply to qualified requests within one working day.

  2. 2

    Deposit and checks

    You pay the £495 sourcing deposit, credited to your fee. We verify your identity or company, and check the destination against UK sanctions lists.

  3. 3

    Shortlist

    We search and send you two or three matching vehicles with history and finance checks and our notes on each.

  4. 4

    Inspection

    Your chosen car is independently inspected. You receive a written report, photos and a walk-around video before you decide.

  5. 5

    Payment

    We invoice you from UK Auto Exporters Ltd. You pay by bank transfer in pounds sterling, from an account in your own or your company’s name. We buy the car only once funds have cleared.

  6. 6

    Shipping

    We collect the car, prepare the export documents and book container or RoRo shipping with marine insurance.

  7. 7

    Arrival

    Documents go to you or your clearing agent, and we keep you updated until the car reaches port. Your local clearing agent handles import duties and collection.

Payment terms

Simple and protected

  • Prices and invoices in pounds sterling
  • Bank transfer only, to our UK company account
  • Full payment clears before we buy or ship
  • We accept only the exact invoiced amount
  • Our bank details come only on your invoice and are confirmed on your briefing call

Shipping terms

FOB or CIF

FOB — the vehicle, export documents and delivery to the UK port. You arrange the shipping.

CIF — as FOB, plus we book shipping and marine insurance to your destination port.

Import duties, taxes and port charges at destination are paid by you, through your clearing agent. Rules on vehicle age and standards vary by country, so check yours before you buy.
