TRUSTED BY
In this space, you’d usually find brand names, event highlights, or notable figures. Our approach, however, is simple: we maintain strict confidentiality regarding our clients. The strong trust we’ve cultivated over decades is something we deeply value and protect. That said, we truly appreciate it when clients choose to share their experiences with us publicly.

CONTAINER
SHIPPING
Flexible Freight Options Backed by Experience
Ontime has extensive experience of shipping cars across the globe by container. Whether a car can be driven or pushed into a container, or whether it needs to be palletised because of its size or door opening, we have shipped countless thousands of high value cars around the world, and for some of the most prestigious and discerning clients.
We have our own relationships with the major shipping lines, and we’re not tied to any individual line or port, so we can use our knowledge and experience to find the optimum choices for our clients. Not only that, but also we can collect your car in one of our enclosed transporters and manage all the documentation and Customs services you need.

EFFORTLESS LOADING FOR LARGER CARS
Sometimes, it’s not as easy as just driving a car into a container! The car may be too wide to allow the driver to open the door or the loaders to access the front of the car to secure it safely. For sports cars with dihedral or gullwing doors, there not be enough room inside the container to open the door.
We are experts in loading cars on to pallets for container loading. Our pallets are made to match the dimensions of an ISO container and are built with strong lashing rings so that we can secure cars safely and without damage, over the tyres, just as we do in our transporters. All of our pallets are treated and marked to meet ISPM 15 standards.

Expert guidance for a smarter distribution strategy
Ro/ro shipping is fast and cost-effective, and Ontime has shipped thousands of luxury cars across the oceans on ro/ro vessels. We have direct accounts with all the major shipping lines, and vast experience of working with port operators to ensure that all cars are handled safely, and we deliver the cars to the port on our own transport fleet.
When new models are introduced, we carry out load trials with the shipping lines and port operators, to ensure that procedures are in place to handle the vehicles safely and without damage.
Of course, we can handle all the Customs and documentation for you, and then deliver the car to its final destination.
