How it works

1. Get a price. Use the price box on this page. Published lanes price instantly; anything else is priced by a person, usually the same business day.
2. Book it. We confirm the sailing, cartage and documents by email before anything is committed.
3. We collect, pack and clear it. Cartage to the container yard, packing and lashing, and the Australian export declaration.
4. Track it to Thailand. You get a private tracking link showing the vessel, sailing date and each milestone.

Before you ship to Thailand

• Thailand doesn't allow used car imports for personal use or resale. What we ship there is new vehicles.
• The receiver in Thailand clears the vehicle and pays the import taxes there.
• Send us the commercial invoice, VIN and the receiver's details so the paperwork matches.
• Clean the vehicle inside, outside and underneath before it ships.

General information only, checked on 11 October 2026. Import rules are set by the destination country and change, so confirm them with the receiver's customs agent before you buy or ship. Source: Bangkok Post: ban on used car imports.
