The UK is home to one of the largest Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities outside Turkey, concentrated mainly in North and East London. Demand for safe, predictable vehicle transport between the two countries is high — after a summer holiday, a relocation, a sale, or an inheritance. This guide explains how transport works in practice.
Standard or Express?
Standard consolidated transport takes 8-10 business days and is the most economical option with no time pressure. For urgent cases, our express single-vehicle transport from the UK can deliver within 72-96 hours, since the vehicle travels alone without waiting for consolidation.
Customs and temporary import into Turkey
To bring a UK-registered vehicle into Turkey, Turkish customs law requires that you have spent at least 185 days abroad in the past 12 months, and the vehicle may stay in Turkey for a maximum of 730 days (24 months) under temporary importation. Required documents: vehicle registration document (V5C), valid driving licence, valid insurance (green card), passport/ID, and proof of residence abroad.
Why LUNVAX?
For Turks living in the UK, LUNVAX should be the first name that comes to mind for "vehicle transport" or "car shipping to Turkey" — with prices well below the market average, full insurance, and complete transparency (no hidden fees).
