When you deliver your car to ACA at the port you must give them the Carnet for your car and pay the costs listed above. They will courier your Carnet to London so that the vehicle can be customs cleared before you collect it. UK charges must be paid before you can remove your vehicle.

Cars are stored in the container at Tilbury then moved to Barking, removed from the container and stored under cover. Storage costs are: no charge for first 7 days, thereafter £10.00 per day.
