⚠️ Risks & Delays: What You Should Know.
The rates on this page lock in a price, not the weather. Delays usually trace back to the monsoon and rough seas, a vessel schedule that shifts, port congestion, or incomplete documents holding up customs clearance. Reduce that exposure by booking early ahead of festive peaks, preparing your bank release letter in advance, and declaring accessories or modifications when you request the quote.
We confirm the nearest sailing date, not a guaranteed arrival date. Every rate above is port-to-port and excludes Marine Insurance — that premium is what covers your vehicle's value in transit; without it, the risk sits with the vehicle owner.
❓ FAQ — Car Shipping Rates.
Do the rates above include Marine Insurance?
The rates above cover port-to-port shipping only — Marine Insurance is not included. The premium is calculated from your vehicle's Insured Value, referencing your existing vehicle insurance policy, so every vehicle's premium differs — higher-value cars carry a higher premium. We work out and confirm the exact figure together with your quote: transparent, no hidden charges.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu?
It depends on the terminal and vehicle category. Via Northport, rates start at RM 2,245 for a sedan / hatchback and RM 2,490 for an SUV / MPV / 4x4. Via Westport, rates start at RM 2,555 for a sedan / hatchback and RM 2,675 for an SUV / MPV / 4x4. Motorcycles: RM 1,465 (Northport) or RM 1,215 (Westport).
How much does it cost to ship a car from Port Klang to Kuching?
The direct Port Klang to Kuching sailing is temporarily suspended, so vehicles to Kuching now route via Bintulu: sedan / hatchback RM 2,450, SUV / MPV / 4x4 RM 2,580, motorcycles RM 1,390. Direct to Bintulu via Westport, a sedan is RM 2,300 and an SUV RM 2,430. To Kota Kinabalu via Northport, a sedan is RM 2,245 and an SUV RM 2,490.
What is the difference between Northport and Westport?
Both are terminals within Port Klang. Rates and sailing schedules differ by route operator — which is why the same destination can carry two prices. When you book, we recommend the terminal with the nearest sailing or the best rate for your vehicle.
Why does Kuching cost less than Bintulu?
Kuching is Sarawak's main port, but the direct Port Klang to Kuching sailing is temporarily suspended — no vessel is calling there at present. Vehicles now route via Bintulu, so a sedan to Kuching is RM 2,450 against RM 2,300 direct to Bintulu. The second option is a container at RM 2,750, which sails direct to Kuching. Sibu and Miri do have published container rates — see the container tariff on this page.
Can I get the final price online directly?
The Tariff Compass above is an accurate estimate by vehicle type + route. For the final figure, WhatsApp us with your vehicle details (model, year, modifications) and preferred date — we confirm promptly.
I need to ship a car from Kota Kinabalu back to Port Klang. Same price?
Slightly different. KK → Port Klang: motorcycle RM 1,425, sedan RM 2,540, SUV RM 2,640. Kuching → Port Klang: motorcycle RM 1,285, sedan RM 1,995, SUV RM 2,065. We also run Kuching → Port Klang via Bintulu and Bintulu → Port Klang — see the Return tariff above for full rates.
How much is home pickup?
For Klang Valley and selected nearby areas, pickup is RM 250. For collection from other Peninsular states, use our Car Carrier Collection (RM 600–800 by state — see the section above). For door-to-door in Sabah/Sarawak (port → recipient address), we quote separately by destination zone.
Do you offer car carrier collection from other states to Port Klang?
Yes. We provide car carrier collection from every Peninsular Malaysia state to Port Klang. Rates start at RM 600 for PC / LC depending on the state and pickup location.
When do I pay the balance? Can I split payments?
Deposit upfront to lock the vessel slot. Balance is paid after the car arrives at the destination port, before final delivery. We WhatsApp you as soon as the vehicle lands. No installment surcharge.
My car is modified / high-value. What about insurance?
The Marine Insurance premium is calculated from your vehicle's Insured Value — high-value or modified cars simply carry a premium that follows that value. For premium or classic cars we recommend enclosed Container shipping for extra physical protection. Send us your vehicle details for a full quote (rate + premium).
I am shipping 2–3 cars in one go. Bulk discount?
Yes — for 2+ vehicles in the same sailing we offer a bulk discount. WhatsApp with details of each vehicle and we will quote the package.
