MegaSpeed Cargo, Dubai
Container Car Shipping from Dubai
Container Car Shipping from Dubai to Africa and Worldwide
With container car shipping from Dubai, your vehicle travels sealed inside a 20ft or 40ft steel container. It is protected from weather and salt air, and nobody can reach it during the voyage. For that reason, it is the usual choice for newer, classic and high-value cars.
MegaSpeed Cargo has 40+ years in the industry, and we ship for private owners, businesses and dealers. Our team loads and lashes cars at our Ras Al Khor facility, close to the Dubai car markets, and we prepare the export papers for you.
When Container Shipping Makes Sense
Choose a container if the car is valuable, if you want to ship several cars together, or if your destination has no RoRo service. If cost is your main concern and the car runs, RoRo is usually cheaper.
Container Sizes for Car Shipping from Dubai
The right size depends on how many cars you are sending and how big they are:
- 20ft container: this fits one car, with some space left for parts where customs rules allow them.
- 40ft container: this can take up to six cars, depending on their size. Larger SUVs will reduce that number.
- Shared container: if you only have one car, it can share a container with other vehicles, which lowers your cost.
Why Use Containers to Ship Your Vehicles
- Protection. Your car is lashed down inside a sealed box, away from the weather.
- Lower cost per car. Several cars in one 40ft container reduce the price of each one.
- More ports. Containers can reach many ports that have no RoRo service.
- Customs support. We prepare the documents, including the RTA export papers.
How Container Car Shipping from Dubai Works
- Inspection. We check the car and record its condition before loading.
- Transport to our yard. You bring the car to us, or we arrange pickup in the UAE.
- Loading and lashing. Our team drives or winches the car in, then secures it with chocks and straps.
- Ocean freight. The container goes to the port and sails on the next booked vessel.
- Arrival. At the destination, the car is unloaded and clears customs. We can then deliver it to you, or you can collect it from the port.

Yes. A 20ft container fits one car, while a 40ft container can take up to six, depending on their size.
RoRo is usually the cheapest. A container costs more, but it gives you better protection, especially for a high-value car.
Up to six. Small cars fit best, whereas larger SUVs will reduce the number.
Please ask us first. Rules vary by destination, and hazardous, flammable and perishable items are not allowed. Spare parts must also be declared.
Usually, yes, as long as it can steer and roll. We then winch it in, so tell us about any faults when you book.
RoRo costs less, but the car sits on an open deck. A container suits expensive cars, classic cars and shipments of several cars together.
