Choosing transport
Shipping a car to Jersey or Guernsey from the UK
4 min read · last updated 2026-10-08
Moving a car to Jersey or Guernsey means a ferry crossing as well as the road journey. DriveDrop quotes the whole trip as one fixed price, with the ferry shown as its own line.
What the price includes
Your quote covers road transport to the port, the ferry crossing and delivery on the island. The ferry cost is shown separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Timings
Ferry sailings limit which days a car can cross, so a longer collection window usually gives a better price and an easier booking.
Before you book
Have these ready so the move goes smoothly:
- The vehicle's V5C (logbook) details.
- Exact collection and delivery addresses.
- A contact on the island who can receive the car.
Common questions
- Is the ferry included in my quote?
- Yes. Crossings to the Channel Islands are added automatically and shown as their own line.
- Can I also bring the car back?
- Yes. Use the return journey option on the quote page to book the trip home at the same time.
