How exporting your car to Dubai works
We can take the process entirely off your hands, or support you if you prefer to arrange certain things yourself. Either way, we load the car into a container in Rotterdam, handle the documentation and send the vehicle to the port in Dubai. Once it arrives, our local agent helps you with all the formalities on location. Think of the inspection of the car and the local vehicle registration. That way you do not get stuck on arrival in a process you do not know.
Documents needed to export to Dubai
A smooth export stands or falls with the right paperwork. To export your car to Dubai, keep the following documents ready:
- Purchase invoice
- Proof of ownership
- Customs payment
- Vehicle Clearance Certificate from the Road Transport Authority (RTA) in the United Arab Emirates
Make sure everything is complete and valid before the car leaves. A missing document holds up your shipment unnecessarily. Not sure whether you have it all? Feel free to put it to us and we will go through the list together.
