Car Shipping from Dubai to None
Ship your car from Dubai to France inside a sealed, dedicated container — door-to-port to Marseille-Fos. Delta Global handles the full UAE export and points you to EU registration (Certificate of Conformity) and any Transfer-of-Residence duty relief you qualify for.

Why Ship Your Car in a Container
Enclosed container
- Fully sealed — protected from salt air, weather and deck damage
- No third-party drivers; sealed at Jebel Ali, opened at destination
- Non-running, project and modified cars welcome (winched in)
- Load spare parts & declared personal effects around the car
- Reaches any container port worldwide
RoRo (drive-on deck)
- Car sits exposed on an open vehicle deck
- Handled and driven by port staff
- Running cars only
- No personal items inside
- Limited to RoRo terminals
Container shipping is a premium, secure service — dearer and slightly slower to arrange than RoRo. For any car you value, that trade-off is worth it.
How Many of Your Cars Fit in One Container?
Every shipment is your own dedicated container — we don’t share your box with other owners. Cars are driven or winched in, then chocked and lashed to the securing points. Switch the tabs to see capacity by container size.
20ft — 1 car
A single vehicle, floor-loaded and lashed to the container’s securing rings. The most secure option for one high-value or classic car.
40ft — 2–4 cars
Two cars loaded flat nose-to-tail, or three to four using purpose-built steel racking — strong economics for dealers.
45ft High-Cube — up to 6 cars
With racking, a 45ft HC carries up to six vehicles depending on their size — the lowest cost per car for bulk movements. The real limit is payload weight, so sedans stack better than large SUVs.

Car Shipping Dubai to France — FAQ
Do I need a Certificate of Conformity?
Yes — a CoC confirms EU type-approval and is required to register in France; without one an individual approval is needed.
Can returning residents avoid duty and VAT?
Often yes — EU Transfer-of-Residence relief can waive import duty and VAT if you meet the residence and ownership conditions; registration tax may still apply.
How long does it take to ship a car from Dubai to France?
Around 18–22 days from Jebel Ali to Marseille-Fos, depending on sailing. We confirm the current transit when you book.
Do you offer shared containers to France?
No — every shipment is your own dedicated container; with racking we can load up to six of your cars per 45ft high-cube.
