Your car can ship to Port Elizabeth which is the main port into South Africa. You will have a choice between container shipping and Roll On/Roll Off shipping. You will be quoted a price for both based on your needs, pick-up and delivery dates, and fees that will be included in your shipping costs.  

 
Roll On/Roll Off shipping method includes your vehicle being driven on to the deck of the ship and secured to a parking bay. Once it reaches the Port Elizabeth in South Africa, it will be driven off. No personal items can accompany your vehicle. This is currently the most affordable way to ship. The next method is the container shipping and this is the best method for those who want to ship any household goods and personal belongings inside the container to their new location. This method of shipping is more expensive but it does allow you to ship everything at once.
