Welcome to Advanced Car Exports, the Cyprus Specialists.

See what our UK suppliers say about us:

"I am copying to Stan at ACE so that he can advise you directly. We always recommend his services to our customers in BFC as he offers exceptional shipping rates and smooths the whole clearance and delivery process; in all the years that we have worked with him we have only ever had delighted feedback from our Cyprus customers". John van der Luit, MD Toyota Export

So if you are posted to Cyprus and considering a new, tax-free car, you've come to the right place.

We have many years experience in shipping cars from UK to Cyprus, and have many happy customers, whose comments you can read on our Testimonial page.

You will need a good reliable car for your posting to Cyprus, where used cars are expensive and quality can be an issue.

There is very little in the way of public transport, too, so order your new car in plenty of time and enjoy your Cyprus posting.

Happy motoring!

Stan Bateman founded Advanced Car Exports in May 1979, and has been assisting British Forces with buying new tax-free cars for over 40 years. Since relocating to Cyprus in 2010 he has specialised in the BFC market, offering a first-class service in supplying, shipping, collecting and registering new tax-free cars for customers stationed there.

Most UK suppliers of new, tax-free cars to British Forces in Cyprus rely on him to assist their customers.

NB: The IMO (International Maritime Organisation) now considers any car with a Lithium battery to be hazardous cargo for shipping purposes. This even applies to Mild Hybrids with a 48V Lithium battery.

The result is that EVs or Hybrids need a safety test in the UK prior to loading into a container (with less than 30% charge in the battery), then need to be stored separately on arrival in Limassol (at a charge of €90 per day) and also to pay a £500 GBP shipping surcharge.

Because of this extra time-consuming testing and paperwork, many suppliers are not interested in getting involved with shipping new tax-free cars to Cyprus. Most but not all. Thankfully, Toyota are happy to sort it all out for their customers.
