Multi-vehicle shipping
Pack up to 3 vehicles in one container, safely.
A 40-foot container floor-loads 2 cars. On a certified vehicle rack system the same box carries 3 — each one raised, cradled and restrained on its own steel frame, with clear air between every panel. More units per sailing means the ocean freight, the terminal handling and the documentation are divided 3 ways instead of 2.

Handled to a Load Plan, Not by Eye
Measured
Length, folded-mirror width, height and weight are checked against the container door aperture and roof clearance before the shipment is booked — never after.
Raised
Every raised vehicle sits on its own engineered steel frame, reusable and rated to its weight. Never timber, chain or improvised supports, and never one vehicle resting on another.
Chocked
Floor vehicles are held on heavy-duty wheel chocks with wheel-only lashings. Nothing is strapped to the body, so no securing load is ever taken through the panels.
Sealed
Each vehicle is covered, photographed in its final position and logged against the bill of lading — a full photo record before the doors are closed and sealed.
How You Get Your Load Plan
You never have to ask for one. Add your vehicles to either calculator and IPAS packs them, plans the rack layout and prices the container — the load plan comes back with your quote, drawn from your actual vehicle dimensions rather than the representative ones above.
Rack capacities are calculated fits. Final vehicle positions follow the rack supplier’s approved load plan, and rack equipment and specialist stuffing labour are itemised in your quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about international car shipping.
Shipping one car in its own 20ft container with IPAS Express costs from $3,770 to $10,222 per car port to port on our most-shipped routes, including export handling at the origin port and marine insurance (rates as of 9 Nov 2026). The lowest is India to Kenya at $3,770. Two cars sharing a 40ft high-cube container cost from $2,396 per car. Sea transit takes 3–88 days depending on the route. Air freight is estimated from $8,300, delivered in 1–10 days. Destination port charges, import duty and VAT are paid on arrival and are not included.
Sea freight transit times range from 3 days (India to Sri Lanka) to 50 days (UK to Australia) depending on the route. Air freight takes 3-12 days for most destinations. Door-to-door service adds 3-7 days for ground transport at each end.
IPAS Express ships passenger cars in sealed containers: one car in its own 20ft container, or two to four cars sharing a 40ft high-cube. RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) is not offered; a vehicle too large for any container is quoted individually by the IPAS Team. A container protects the car from weather and handling and keeps it sealed from origin port to destination port.
Yes! A 20ft container fits 1 standard car, a 40ft container fits 2-3 cars, and a 40ft High Cube fits 2-4 cars depending on vehicle sizes. Shipping multiple cars in one container is significantly cheaper per vehicle than individual shipments.
Our shipping quotes include freight charges, origin port terminal handling, destination port terminal handling, export/import customs documentation, and professional vehicle securing. Optional extras include marine insurance (0.2% of vehicle value, $100 minimum), door pickup/delivery, and enclosed trailer transport.
Marine insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It costs 0.2% of your vehicle value for sea freight (0.25% for air), subject to a $100 minimum premium, and covers loss or damage during transit. Without insurance, the carrier liability is limited to approximately $500 per package under maritime law.
Required documents typically include: vehicle title/registration, bill of sale, photo ID, customs declaration forms, and bill of lading. Some countries require additional documents like import permits, compliance certificates, or emissions test results. IPAS handles all documentation as part of our service.
Yes. Non-running vehicles ship in a container like any other car; they are winched or forklifted in at the origin port. Additional loading equipment charges may apply.
