Car shipping isn't one-way. Just as we bring cars to Sabah/Sarawak, we also bring your car back to the Peninsular — and for the main return routes, we have confirmed rates.
When You Ship Back
- 💼 End of a work posting — your Sabah/Sarawak contract ends and you move back.
- 🎓 Finished studies — graduates returning to the Peninsular.
- 🏠 Family relocation — moving back to your hometown.
- 🚗 Buy/sell — a car bought in Borneo shipped to a Peninsular buyer.

Shipping Process (Return Direction)
The process mirrors the outbound leg: we (or our local agents) collect the car at your Sabah/Sarawak address, inspect & photograph it, load it onto a RORO to Port Klang, then deliver to your Peninsular address. The whole thing is usually 10-14 days. Door-to-door pickup/delivery +RM 250.
Documents
Same as outbound: registration, IC, valid road tax & insurance, and a booking form. If the car is still under loan, include a bank release letter. Full list: documents to ship a car.
FAQ
Can you ship a car from Sabah/Sarawak back to the Peninsular?
