It's generally not financially sound to do so (for individuals). Unless you don’t mind wasting money, all vehicles should be sold off.

andrews shipping enfield London, do frieght on board only and collect from port in cyprus, be prepared in cy to pay the duty! defo get an agent to help you at the port, for you he will want approx £150 Euros any more than that tell him to go FH.
He could also get it delivered, best you go to port and get the car as you will more than likely have probs, it may not get to you in one piece.

I have had dealings with the company in question, they are now situated in 'Brimsdown' and offer an excellent service, Tel:- 020 8882 8763.

One small word of caution, the policy now is to discourage customers from loading the vehicle with household and other goods, it is far better to send any such articles via their other department which is located in units 14 and 15 within the same industrial area where unit 26 deals with vehicles.

The actual location of the units is in 'Riverwalk' off Jeffery's Road in the 'Brimsdown Business Park' (sat nav EN3 7QE) Good Luck. :wink:

I have shipped two cars with Andrews shipping , both collected from my business. The last car left 2 weeks ago in the boot I put 18 packets of nappies for my daughters children since the cost here is £5.49 per 50 and in Cyprus around 17 -22 euros.
Disappointed though that the car arrived a few days ago minus the nappies !!

The cost of shipping an old Mercedes (1996) saloon to Cyprus is less than £500............. providing it is delivered to unit 26 of the 'Brimsdown Business Park'.

The charges at the other end are variable and should be researched initially.

Depending on how far from unit 26 the vehicle is presently, it could be viable to drive to the unit and arrange personal transport back.

That is how I have transported three vehicles to Cyprus, the fees at the port are a minefield in themselves (as far as I am aware) although now that Cyprus is in the EU, there is plenty of room for negotiation. :wink:
