Methods used for shipping cars from Dubai to Turkey
We offer three main methods for car shipping from Dubai to Turkey. Each option has its own benefits based on your needs.
Container
Dedicated Container
A dedicated container gives you exclusive space for your vehicle. This premium option offers maximum protection. It costs more than other methods but provides peace of mind. Our 20ft containers fit a single car perfectly. For multiple vehicles, we offer 40ft containers. We secure your car with special tie-downs and wrapping. This method works for all vehicle types, especially luxury or classic cars.
Shared Container
Shared containers let you split costs with other AEON customers. This makes container shipping more affordable. Your car receives the same protection as a dedicated service. The main drawback is timing – the container won’t leave until fully loaded. This option suits standard-sized vehicles when budget matters more than speed. We still use proper securing methods to prevent damage.

RoRo
Roll-on/Roll-off shipping is our most economical option. Your car is driven onto a specialized vessel and secured on deck. You cannot ship personal items except a spare wheel and a quarter-filled fuel tank. RoRo costs less than container or air shipping. This method works best for standard vehicles that are running in good condition. It’s quick and efficient for standard car models.

Air Freight
Air freight is our fastest but most expensive shipping method. Your vehicle reaches Turkey in days instead of weeks. We use specialized cargo planes and equipment. Air shipping offers excellent protection and minimal handling. It’s ideal for luxury, exotic, or classic cars when time is critical. We provide complete wrapping and secure mounting to prevent any movement during flight.

How long will it take to ship a car from Dubai to Turkey?
Shipping a car from Dubai to Turkey typically takes:
- Container shipping: 15-25 days
- RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): 12-20 days
- Air freight: 2-4 days
Actual delivery time depends on several factors. Customs clearance can add 3-7 days, sometimes longer during busy periods. Direct shipments are faster than those requiring transit through intermediate ports. Just know that door-to-door will take a bit longer since we need to handle the ground transport on both ends. Going port-to-port is quicker. However, the trade-off is that you’ll need to figure out how to pick it up yourself. Shipping companies generally provide tracking services so you can monitor your vehicle’s journey.
