How to Export Luxury Cars from the USA to the Middle East (2025 Guide)

23.10.2025

According to data from Statista and the International Trade Administration, luxury vehicle imports into the Gulf region grew by over 11% in 2024, with the trend continuing in 2025.

 

The UAE alone imported more than 92,000 luxury vehicles last year, while Saudi Arabia saw an 18% increase in high-end car registrations.

 

The top imported models include:

  • Rolls-Royce Cullinan

  • Bentley Bentayga

  • Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG

  • Range Rover Autobiography

  • Tesla Model X and Model S

 

This growth is supported by lower fuel prices, high disposable income, and expanding luxury car dealerships in Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha.

 

Choose a Trusted Logistics Partner

 

Luxury cars require specialized handling, high-value insurance, and secure loading.

A professional export company like All Cargo Export provides:

  • Custom container loading for exotic cars

  • Photo and video reports at every stage

  • Modern warehouse near Savannah Port (just 10 minutes away)

  • Sealed container tracking and insurance coverage

Before your car can be exported, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires:

  • Original vehicle title

  • Bill of sale / purchase invoice

  • Photo ID or passport of shipper

  • Power of attorney for the logistics company

  • Export declaration (AES filing)

Choose the Best Shipping Method

Container Shipping (Recommended for Luxury Cars)

The safest and most common method for high-value cars.

Your vehicle is securely strapped and enclosed in a 40ft steel container, protected from weather and external contact.

  • Ideal for Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, etc.

  • Option to ship one or two vehicles in the same container

  • Enables photo proof and monitoring

Ro/Ro Shipping (Not recommended for luxury models)

Involves driving vehicles directly onto the ship’s deck. It’s cheaper but provides less protection and no loading documentation, so it’s rarely used for exotic or luxury models.

Luxury cars require special preparation before loading:

  • Ensure fuel tank is below ¼ full (safety regulation)

  • Deactivate alarms and remove loose items

  • Perform a full condition inspection

  • Take high-resolution photos before transport

 

All Cargo Export performs a detailed vehicle inspection and provides clients with photo documentation of every step, from loading to sealing the container.

 

Insurance

Given the value of luxury cars, comprehensive marine insurance is strongly recommended.

It typically covers:

  • Total loss (sinking, collision, fire)

  • Physical damage during loading/unloading

  • Theft, mishandling, or vandalism
