For UK based clients, we offer either shipping only, where you deliver your vehicle or goods to one of the UK ports of departure, or an all-inclusive shipping service where we collect your vehicle or goods from any UK address and ship them to Roseau.
For international clients, we can either source and supply new or used vehicles from the UK and export them directly to you in Dominica, or if you have identified or secured your own car in the UK, we can buy the vehicle on your behalf and ship it to you in Dominica.

The ships take approximately 17 days to get to Roseau from the UK. There are two main methods of shipping vehicles from the UK to Dominica:

RORO Shipping - RoRo is short for "Roll on Roll off" and is the simplest, cheapest, and most popular method of shipping. Vehicles are driven into the ship and securely fixed to the ship's deck, and when the ship arrives in Roseau, they are driven out of the ship. Putting personal goods in the vehicles is usually not permitted when shipping by RoRo.
-

Container shipping is a more expensive but secure option and is ideal if you are sending high-value vehicles or if you are sending other items with your car, such as household goods or spare parts.
