Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Ireland to Cyprus?

RoRo shipping from Cork to Limassol starts from €2,673 all-in for a standard car: sea freight with the T2L, the port delivery order and customs clearance, with VAT on the Cyprus charges. SUVs and 4x4s, heavier cars and sailing from Rosslare cost more — the calculator at the top of this page gives your exact price.

Do I pay customs duty on a car shipped from Ireland to Cyprus?

No. Ireland and Cyprus are both in the EU, so there is no customs duty — the T2L document included in our price proves the car's EU status. You will pay excise duty and registration fees when you register the car in Cyprus, and VAT only if the car counts as new (generally up to 6 months old or 6,000 km). Our customs team can estimate these for you.

Which ports do you ship from in Ireland?

Cork and Rosslare Europort. You drop the car at the port and we take care of the booking, the export paperwork and the T2L. Collection from your address can be arranged on request.

Can I ship an Irish right-hand drive car to Cyprus?

Yes. Cyprus drives on the left like Ireland, so right-hand drive cars are the norm. Once the car is cleared, it has to be registered with Cyprus plates.

What documents do I need?

The Irish Vehicle Registration Certificate (VRC), proof of ownership or the purchase invoice, and your passport or ID. If you are moving to Cyprus, proof of your change of residence can reduce the taxes on registration — we'll tell you what applies.

How long does it take?

It depends on the sailing schedule from Cork or Rosslare. We confirm the next sailing and the transit time to Limassol with your written quote.
