How shipping your motorhome works
- Instant pricing. Enter your motorhome’s size, weight and travel date and see the price and the next sailings in seconds.
- Book. Send us your vehicle registration, your passport and the date you want to ship. We confirm the booking within a few days and start the export paperwork.
- Drop off at the port. About 14 days before the sailing we send your delivery instructions and port documents. You drive to the terminal and hand over the keys.
- Collect in Halifax. 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 RoRo
- Measure it as it will travel: length, width and height including roof boxes, solar panels, bike racks and tow bars. The price is set by size, so an accurate height and length matter most.
- Gas: take removable gas bottles out. A bottle or fixed tank that stays must be empty, with a gas-free certificate, and declared before booking. Your booking confirmation gives the rule for your sailing.
- Lithium leisure battery: tell us before you book; it is accepted case by case.
- Fuel: less than a quarter of a tank.
- Belongings: touring belongings can usually stay inside, secured and out of sight. Tell us what you are carrying when you book so we can confirm what the sailing allows.
- Clean underneath: arrive with the underside and wheels free of soil, as border inspections can ask for it.
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.
Touring Canada in your own motorhome
A visitor can bring their own vehicle into Canada for a stay of up to 12 months, as long as it leaves with them. The rules are in the Canada Border Services Agency memorandum D19-12-1, Importing Vehicles into Canada (Appendix C, temporary vehicle imports). Check your own entry requirements on the CBSA travel documents page.
Arrange motor insurance that covers you in Canada, and in the USA if you plan to cross the border.
Shipping back to Europe
When your trip ends we ship your motorhome from Halifax back to the UK, Belgium or Germany. Halifax to the UK starts at about USD 3,610 for a campervan and USD 4,860 for a 7.5 m motorhome.
