Where we ship from and to
- USA: Brunswick (Georgia), Baltimore, New York
- Canada: Halifax
Your motorhome arrives at Southampton or Liverpool in the UK, Zeebrugge or Antwerp in Belgium, or Hamburg or Bremerhaven in Germany. Pick the departure port nearest the end of your route in the Instant pricing form.
We ship motorhomes, campervans, RVs, caravans and trailers. Need a container, or a route we do not list here? Our parent company IVSS handles those.
How shipping your motorhome home works
- Instant pricing. Enter your motorhome’s size, weight and the date you want to ship to see the price and the next sailings in seconds.
- Book. Send us your vehicle registration, your passport and your US or Canadian entry papers. We confirm the booking within a few days and prepare the export paperwork.
- Drop off at the port. Before the sailing you get your delivery instructions. You drive to the terminal and hand over the keys, then fly home.
- Collect at home. We tell you when the ship arrives and when the motorhome is ready. Customs clearance goes through our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker.
Getting your motorhome ready for the trip home
- Plan the end of your trip around a sailing: book a few weeks ahead and finish near the departure port.
- Gas: take removable bottles out; a bottle or tank that stays must be empty, with a gas-free certificate, and declared before booking.
- Fuel: less than a quarter of a tank.
- Belongings: touring belongings can usually stay inside, secured and out of sight. Tell us what you carry when you book.
- Clean it: arrive with the underside and wheels free of soil.
RoRo means roll-on roll-off: your motorhome is driven onto the ship and travels in the enclosed hold of a vehicle carrier, never on deck.
Leaving the USA and Canada on time
USA: a visitor’s motorhome can stay up to one year from entry under the EPA nonresident exemption, or until you leave the country, whichever comes first. There is no extension, it cannot be sold in the USA, and a trip into Canada or Mexico does not count as exporting it. A vehicle that entered on that one-year exemption, a carnet or a bond is exempt from the standard export filing; any other used vehicle needs an AES filing and its title with US Customs 72 hours before export (US Customs and Border Protection).
Canada: a visitor can keep a foreign vehicle in Canada for up to 12 months, and only the visitor who brought it in may drive it.
Book the sailing home with time to spare before either deadline. Our USA and Canada pages cover the trip out.
