How much does it cost to ship a car to Tawau?
Tawau rates aren't published on-site yet because they depend on vehicle type, dates, and the current vessel rotation. Tap "Check with Officer" or WhatsApp us — you'll get an exact rate; Marine Insurance is billed separately (per Insured Value). For a general cost picture, see our Cost Index.
How long does shipping to Tawau take?
The full process is usually a little longer than the Kota Kinabalu route since Tawau is in south-east Sabah. We confirm an exact estimate against the vessel schedule at quotation.
Which port does my car arrive at?
Vehicles arrive at Tawau Port in south-east Sabah, near the Indonesian border. Depending on the vessel rotation, some shipments transit via Kota Kinabalu first.
Is there home pickup?
Yes. We offer door-to-door pickup from the Klang Valley and selected Peninsular areas (+RM 250), and delivery to your Tawau address through local agents.
Is Marine Insurance part of the rate?
Marine Insurance is calculated separately, not automatically bundled into the RORO rate. Rates are port-to-port and exclude Marine Insurance — the premium is calculated from your vehicle's Insured Value, referencing your existing vehicle insurance policy, and confirmed together with your quote.
What documents are required?
Vehicle registration (VOC), a copy of the owner's IC, valid road tax & motor insurance, and a signed Rentaka booking form. An authorisation letter if the sender isn't the owner.
