Ted,
Thanks for the name of the movers.
I am really not sure a carnet is required for South Africa, I may be wrong.
I like the idea of just into a container, however £650 does sound expensive I feel.
Is that a return price?
2 friends of mine took a car each from Southampton to Port Elizabeth, which is about 7 hours from Cape Tow,
I think they paid £900 for each car, this was just a 1 way.
No container though, just driven onto the vessel.

I think thats a good price compared to what many people pay.. Half the cost of flying it etc.. And yes, thats just one way and included all customs work and clearance. I got cheaper quotes from dodgy back street offices but I just didnt like their approach. Britannia were very friendly, helpful and knew exactly what they were doing with bikes and carnets.. Also, they didnt want a crate which saves £200 or more.
As for Carnet, you DO NOT need one for South Africa but it is accepted. You get a "T.I.P" (temporary import). You don't need a carnet until you get to Sudan really.
