Shipping a car overseas can feel daunting if you’ve never done it before. Between choosing a method, sorting documentation, and understanding what Grenada customs expects on arrival, there’s a lot to get right. That’s where we come in. Our team handles the logistics end to end, so you can focus on the move itself rather than the paperwork behind it.
Shipping Options to Grenada
We provide two main shipping options for your vehicle:
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) Car Shipping to Grenada
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) is the most cost-effective method for car shipping to Grenada. Vehicles are driven onto the vessel and secured for the voyage, with sailings from Portsmouth roughly every month. RoRo suits cars, 4x4s, vans, and larger vehicles such as trucks and tractors, and you only pay for the space your vehicle occupies rather than a full container. Transit time is approximately 10 days, making it one of the fastest options available for this route.
Container Car Shipping to Grenada
Prefer extra protection for your vehicle during the journey to Grenada? Container shipping offers a secure alternative to RoRo, with your vehicle loaded and secured inside a 20ft or 40ft container rather than driven onto an open vessel. We provide both door-to-port and port-to-port collection, with a weekly sailing service to St. George’s. This option works well for classic cars, high-value vehicles, or shipments alongside personal belongings. See full container pricing, sizes, and options on our container shipping to Grenada page.
Which Option Is Right for You
If budget and speed matter most, RoRo is usually the better fit. If your vehicle is high-value, a classic, or you’re shipping personal effects alongside it, container shipping offers greater security. Our team is happy to talk through both options based on your specific vehicle and circumstances before you book.

Documentation Required for Car Shipping to Grenada
Getting your paperwork right avoids delays at both ends. You’ll typically need:
- Original vehicle logbook (V5C)
- Valid passport or photo ID
- Proof of ownership or purchase invoice
- Bill of lading, issued once your vehicle is booked
- Grenada import license, arranged via the Ministry of Finance
Missing or incorrect documentation is one of the most common causes of delay at Grenada customs, so we check everything with you well before your vehicle departs the UK.
DVLA Requirements When Shipping a Car Abroad
If you’re exporting your vehicle permanently, UK law requires you to notify the DVLA that the car is leaving the country. This keeps your vehicle record accurate and avoids issues such as continued tax or MOT reminders for a car that’s no longer in the UK. We guide customers through this step as part of our car shipping to Grenada service, so nothing gets missed before departure.
UK Ports for Shipping to Grenada
RoRo sailings for car shipping to Grenada depart from Portsmouth, one of the UK’s main vehicle export hubs with regular Caribbean-bound services. Container shipments can also be arranged through our wider port network. See our full shipping schedule for upcoming sailing dates and to plan your booking around a convenient departure.
Customs Clearance in Grenada
On arrival, all vehicles go through customs inspection before release. You’ll need to provide your import license, bill of lading, and proof of ownership. Our partners on the ground assist with clearance, so your car is processed as smoothly as possible once it reaches St. George’s, minimising time spent waiting at the port.
Import Tax and Duties in Grenada
Import duties and taxes apply to vehicles brought into Grenada, with the exact rate depending on the vehicle’s type, age, and value. Requirements can change, so we always recommend checking current rates with the Grenada Customs and Excise Division before shipping, rather than relying on figures that may be out of date.
Vehicle Import Requirements for Grenada
- Vehicles must be less than 10 years old to be imported
- Left-hand drive vehicles are not permitted
- A valid driver’s license is required
- Proof of ownership, such as the title or registration, must be provided
- An import license is required and obtained via the Ministry of Finance
Car Shipping Insurance to Grenada
We recommend marine transit insurance for every vehicle shipped to Grenada to cover damage, loss, or unforeseen risks during the voyage. Shipping lines take real care when loading and securing vehicles, but conditions at sea can’t be fully controlled. Cover gives genuine peace of mind and matters most for higher-value cars and classic vehicles, where repair or replacement costs would be significant if anything went wrong in transit.
How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping to Grenada
Proper preparation reduces the risk of delays during inspection and loading.
Before your vehicle departs the UK, make sure to:
- Clean the vehicle thoroughly, inside and out
- Remove all personal belongings
- Leave the fuel tank below a quarter full for safety during transit
- Check that the vehicle is in full working order, since a non-running car may require container shipping rather than RoRo
- Keep spare keys ready to hand over at collection
- Have your documentation organised and easily accessible for customs officials and port staff
Restricted Items for Car Shipping to Grenada
Certain items cannot be left inside the vehicle when arranging car shipping to Grenada.
Restricted items include:
- Flammable liquids
- Hazardous materials or chemicals
- Weapons or illegal items
- Undeclared household goods
Removing restricted items ensures compliance with international shipping safety regulations and smooth customs clearance in Grenada.
