Connecting the UK to Africa,
One Vehicle at a Time
We're a London-based logistics company on a mission to make vehicle shipping transparent, affordable, and completely stress-free.
Built from Frustration, Driven by Purpose
AutoFreight Global Logistics was founded after our founders experienced firsthand the pain of shipping a vehicle from the UK to West Africa. Opaque pricing, endless paperwork, and weeks of uncertainty — we knew there had to be a better way.
We set out to build a platform that automated every step of the process: DVLA data verification, port matching, customs documentation, and real-time tracking — all under one roof. What once took weeks of back-and-forth with brokers can now be completed in minutes.
We're now live with scheduled sailings from the UK to Namibia, and actively expanding our route network further across Africa. We're proud to be a transparent, technology-driven alternative to traditional vehicle freight brokers in the UK-Africa corridor.

Our Mission & Values
Every decision we make is guided by a commitment to transparency, reliability, and genuine care for our customers.
Transparency First
No hidden fees, no opaque brokers. Every cost is itemised and explained. You know exactly what you're paying and why.
Reliability Above All
We partner only with established shipping lines and provide clear status updates at every stage of your shipment.
Powered by Technology
From DVLA lookups to automated port assignment, our platform removes human error and speeds up every step of the process.
Customer-Centric
Every feature we build starts with a customer problem. Our team is always available to help — not just to close a sale.
Global Reach
We understand both UK and African regulatory environments. Our in-country partners ensure smooth customs clearance at every port.
Community Impact
We actively support the African diaspora in the UK, recognising the important role vehicle imports play in families and businesses across Africa.
A Small Team, Built for Focus
We're a lean team of logistics and technology specialists based in London, and we'd rather over-invest in getting the shipping experience right than spread ourselves thin. Every quote, booking, and support enquiry goes through people who actually understand freight.
