Fast and affordable road freight services
Barrington Freight is the preferred freight forwarder to Slovakia for many large importers and exporters, so why look anywhere else when shipping road freight to the Slovak Republic?
International Freight to Slovakia
We offer the most convenient economy groupage services, with groupage to Slovakia leaving daily; as a family-run independent forwarder for haulage to “Slovenska Republika”, we use a number of reliable European haulage and transport companies, to ensure the prompt departure of your cargo from the UK to Slovakia.
Please note that the only cargo that we ship to Slovakia is business or commercial cargo. Visit our partners Anglo Pacific for any domestic cargo.
Apart from economy groupage services for cheap pallet delivery, we ship part loads or full loads of Euro and UK export pallets; whether printers/plastic/wooden pallets or boxes, export packed cargo, cages, skids – we handle all your palletised or non-palletised freight to Slovakia. We have express services for your Slovak freight too – including next day services, 48 hours / 2-day services, or 72 hours / 3-day services by truck and trailer – with dedicated courier vans to Europe for the really fast delivery of urgent cargo from the UK to Slovakia or back.
Road Freight Shipping To Slovakia
Road freight to “Slovensko” is our speciality, and we are pleased to handle difficult shipments – including big/tall/long/high/cubic/heavy manufactured goods or machinery, awkward shapes and sizes, timed collections and deliveries, restricted access, and even consignments which other cheap delivery companies may have declined. We have the correct vehicles for all types of haulage to Slovakia and we work with experienced local partner depots to overcome any specific problems with remote destinations or loading and unloading facilities.
Here at Barrington, we offer flagship express services by dedicated courier van to Europe. A non-stop journey by dedicated express road freight van can take just 15 hours from London to Bratislava, so with a two-driver team (no rest breaks!), we have true next day freight services!

Our express services for your Slovak road freight are far more convenient than air freight to Slovakia, as a result of the fact that no special documentation is required to drive cargo into the country due to Slovakia’s EU membership, which has been in place since 2004. Apart from urgent next day services, we can use single drivers with rest breaks to provide a 48 hour / 2-day service for your fragile, secure or time-sensitive cargo from the UK to Slovakia or back. If you are looking for a dedicated door-to-door service, we also offer this too, so you can make sure that your time windows are kept at both ends of the journey.

Of course, groupage to Slovakia forms the bulk of our shipments. Slovak freight on standard 120×100 or 120×80-centimetre base pallets benefits from the cheapest international shipping costs, especially if stackable.
Shipping to Slovakia from the UK
When UK exporters ship goods to their commercial clients in Slovakia by road, their consignments will necessarily enter the European Union’s trading bloc. Typically, this will happen at Calais, Dunkirk, Zeebrugge or Hook of Holland although the same rules apply at every entry point to the EU. Consequently, British-based exportation firms with orders to fulfil in Slovakia need to have their customs paperwork in good order long before their goods arrive at the Slovak border. This is where our operations team can be of such great service. Not only do we provide high-quality freight forwarding operations but we also frequently act as customs clearance agents for our clients as well.
Some of our customers in the UK already have the in-house know-how to deal with EORI registrations and declarations of shipments to the EU. However, smaller firms tend to outsource this work to brokers or agents who deal with customs paperwork routinely. At Barrington Freight, we offer a business-to-business service that includes customs clearance work alongside our freight forwarding service. If you need help, we are on standby to offer it. Taking advantage of this additional service will mean your goods pass through border controls unhindered and without the potential for delays caused by incorrectly made declarations.
Experts In Slovakian Freight Forwarding
The automobile industry is one of the key areas in which we deliver cargo to and from Slovakia. There are a great number of vehicle assembly plants based in Slovakia, with the likes of Volkswagen, Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all operating in cities such as Bratislava, Trnava and Silvia. The electronics sector is also highly popular in Slovakia with Nitra and Galanta acting as hubs for some of the products offered by Sony and Samsung.
As a landlocked country, road freight to Slovakia can take a significant amount of time, as our drivers must navigate through the likes of Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Ukraine, depending on the route taken. At Barrington Freight, our services are in high demand due to the exceptional quality of the air freight services we provide. Our drivers have an in-depth knowledge of a huge number of locations in Slovakia and are well versed in navigating the country’s terrain in order to ensure that your cargo arrives at its destination on time, and in one piece.
