Car Shipping
from Dubai, UAE
International Services
Opera Shipping is a Dubai-based specialist in international car shipping for private clients. Our core service is door-to-door vehicle transport, managing every stage from collection in the UAE to final delivery at your destination.
We handle both export and import movements. Exports cover vehicle shipments from the UAE to key destinations including the UK, Europe, the USA, and Canada. Imports bring vehicles into the UAE from those same regions, supporting relocations, purchases, and returns.
Our team works across air freight and sea freight options, helping you select the right method based on your timeline, vehicle requirements, and destination. Whether you are relocating a daily driver or transporting a high-value vehicle across continents, our process is built around precision, clear communication, and careful handling at every stage.
Choose Your Car Shipping Method
Air Freight Car Shipping (Fastest Option)
Air freight is our most popular service for clients who need their vehicle delivered quickly and securely. It is the preferred choice for luxury, classic, and time-sensitive shipments, significantly reducing transit time compared to sea options.
Dedicated Container Shipping (Maximum Protection)
With dedicated container shipping, your vehicle is loaded into its own sealed container for the full journey by sea. This method provides the highest level of physical protection during transit for high-value vehicles.
Shared Container Shipping (Consolidated)
Shared container shipping consolidates two to three vehicles in a single container. This method suits clients with flexible timelines who want the protection of a sealed container at a consolidated rate.
RoRo Car Shipping (Roll-on/Roll-off)
RoRo is a widely used shipping method where your vehicle is driven directly onto a specialised cargo vessel. It is a straightforward option for standard, roadworthy vehicles on established routes.

How the Car Shipping Process Works
Step 1 - Request a Quote
The process begins with a conversation where you share your vehicle details, origin and destination, preferred timeline, and any specific requirements. This allows us to recommend the most suitable shipping method.
Step 2 - Vehicle Preparation
Once confirmed, we guide you on straightforward preparation steps. This typically includes ensuring the fuel tank is at a safe level, removing personal belongings, and completing a condition check.
Step 3 - Documentation & Customs
Our team provides support with the required documentation and explains customs procedures for your route. We focus on helping you understand what applies to your specific shipment.
Step 4 - Shipping & Tracking
Your car is collected and transported using your chosen method. We maintain a clear line of communication throughout, providing tracking updates and progress reports.
Step 5 - Arrival & Delivery
Upon arrival, we manage port or airport clearance procedures. For many routes, our service includes door-to-door delivery directly to your specified address.
Customs & Documentation Support
International car shipping involves customs clearance and supporting paperwork. Our team explains each step clearly, reviews your documents for completeness, and supports you throughout the process. While we do not provide legal advice, we ensure you understand the requirements and timelines involved.

Temporary Car Export - Summer Seasonal Spotlight (March-June)
Every year, a concentrated wave of car shipments leaves Dubai for Europe between March and June. This seasonal peak is driven by UAE residents with Dubai number plate vehicles who wish to use their cars during the European summer months.
Air freight is the preferred method during this period for its speed and scheduling precision, aligning with fixed travel plans. Due to high demand, we recommend enquiring early to secure your preferred routing.
