Our values.
01
Trust
We earn it before we ask for anything in return. Every conversation, every car.
02
Reliability
When we say we'll call, we call. When we say it's ready, it's ready.
03
Transparency
No hidden fees, no small print. You see the price, the process and the people.
04
Commitment
It doesn't end at handover. We're in it for every mile after the sale.
05
Honesty
What the car needs, and what we'd choose ourselves. Advice over a quick sale.
06
Relationship
We remember your name and what matters to you. Not a transaction — a beginning.
What is Providence Auto?
Providence Auto is a global vehicle sourcing and export group serving 200+ dealership clients. Our own teams in the UK, Japan, the UAE, India, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand buy, inspect and ship cars to 34 destination markets, and support each buyer through clearance at their port.
The problem is, buying a car still means settling.
Local lots only show what's already sitting on them. Going abroad looks like a maze of duty, paperwork and sellers you can't verify.
The spec you want isn't on the lot
Dealers stock what they could get, not what you want.
The price isn't the price
Duty, freight and registration costs show up after you've committed.
You can't verify a car eight time zones away
No one to inspect it. No one to answer for it.
We are not a marketplace, and not a broker network.
Providence Auto is the trading name of Providence Trading Limited. For 15+ years we've bought, inspected and shipped every car ourselves — through our own people in the source country, never a chain of intermediaries who never see the vehicle.
Here's how it works — you request it, we source it, it ships.
Tell us the exact car — a full sourcing quote comes back in 24 hours. We buy it through our own team in the source country, verify it and ship it to your port, where we support your clearance with the documents. Every import tracks the same way:
The difference is that people on the ground beat an inbox.
Almost everything that goes wrong with a vehicle import goes wrong in the source country, thousands of miles from the buyer. So that's where we put our people.
Seven countries, not seven agents
Nothing is subcontracted to an exporter you never speak to.
Transparency before payment
You see the inspection before we spend your money.
One team, start to finish
A named consultant owns your import, start to finish — not a shared inbox.
One landed price
One number for the total cost, wherever the car comes from.
Our network is seven countries on the ground and 34 destination markets.
Our own teams buy in seven countries and source from many more. Every route below is a real shipping lane — drag to spin it.

We protect your money by showing you the car before it is released.
Inspected before you pay
The same multi-point inspection in every source country. If the car doesn't match what you approved, it doesn't ship.
Payment held until verified
Your funds are released only once the car is inspected and cleared for export.
Marine cover on the voyage
Arranged from the source country to the port of arrival.
Documents for your clearance
A complete document pack, and our support through clearance at your port.
Powered by trust. Driven by value.
The line printed on the mat we lay in every car we handle.
We serve three kinds of buyer, through one network.
Any car. Any country. Any port.
Tell us the car. A named consultant sends back the full landed cost — one number, before you commit.
