Compact petrol cars such as the Suzuki Swift and MG5 are among the most requested vehicles shipped from Dubai to Algeria. They are affordable, economical to run and well suited to Algerian roads. This guide explains how many of each fit in a container, your shipping options and what to check before you buy.

How many cars fit in a 40ft container?

By loading and securing vehicles efficiently, we can fit:

• Up to 6 Suzuki Swift in a 40ft container
• Up to 5 MG5 in a 40ft container

Shipping several cars together in one container spreads the cost across each vehicle, which makes it an excellent option for dealers, traders and families buying more than one car. Each car is lashed and chocked inside the sealed container, so it travels fully protected.

Shipping options for Swift and MG5

FCL container to any Algerian port

A full 40ft container dedicated to your cars, shipped to Alger, Oran, Annaba, Béjaïa, Skikda, Mostaganem, Djen Djen or other Algerian ports. See FCL container shipping.

RoRo to Djen Djen

For a single car, RoRo is usually the most economical option. The car is driven onto the vessel in Dubai and driven off at Djen Djen. We have regular sailings, usually monthly. Learn more about RoRo.

Shared container to Alger

Ship one Swift or MG5 in a container shared with other shippers, with enclosed protection at a lower cost than a full container. See shared container shipping.

What to check before buying

• Fuel type: the Swift and MG5 are petrol models, which suits Algeria’s private import rules that exclude diesel vehicles.
• Age: private used-vehicle imports generally need to be under three years old at customs clearance in Algeria.
• Payment: purchases must be paid from the buyer’s foreign currency account in Algeria.

Import rules change with each Finance Law, so confirm current requirements with Algerian customs before purchasing. See our import regulations summary.

How the process works

1. Quotation based on the number of cars, model and destination port.
2. Collection of the cars in Dubai or delivery to our vehicle loading facility.
3. Loading and securing inside the container by our team.
4. Export clearance and shipping documents.
5. Sailing to your chosen Algerian port.
