Methods used for shipping cars from Dubai to Ireland
We offer several methods to ship your car from Dubai to Ireland. Each option has different costs, transit times, and safety features to suit your need
Container Shipping
Dedicated Container
A dedicated container means your car travels alone in its own box. We typically use 20ft containers for single vehicles. This method is more expensive than shared options but offers maximum protection. We secure your vehicle with strong straps and padding to prevent movement. This method works well for luxury, classic, or modified cars that need extra care. You can also pack personal items with your vehicle.
Shared Container
Shared containers hold multiple vehicles in one 40ft space. You can share the cost with AEON’s other customers, making this more affordable. The container will not leave until all cars are loaded, which may affect timing. Your vehicle is still well-protected with proper securing systems. This option is suitable for regular cars. It gives better protection than RoRo. Moreover, it also helps keep costs down

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off)
RoRo shipping is where we drive your car onto a unique ship and then drive it off to the destination. This method is our most affordable option for car shipping. Your vehicle must be in working condition. We secure it on the ship deck, but it’s exposed to weather. You cannot ship personal items using the RoRo service. This method works well for regular cars that don’t need extra care. They don’t need special protection either.

Air Freight
Air freight is the fastest but most expensive shipping method. Your car flies in a cargo plane directly to Ireland. We use specialized equipment to load and secure your vehicle. This premium option offers quick transit times and excellent security. It’s perfect when the delivery time is your main concern rather than the cost. Also, it is suitable for luxury vehicles that require ultra-special care.
