Any ocean freight company can handle that. However, shipping a car to the US is a highly complicated process if the car does not meet US safety and emissions specs. It can be done for short term visits (less than 1 year) but among other things you'll have to post a bond equal to 300% of the car's value as determined by the US Customs Service. At the end of 1 year it must be exported permanently or the bond is forfeit. The catch-22 is that if you total the car you'll have to export the wreck in order to get your bond back.

If you are a member of H.M. Forces or the Consular or Diplomatic Corps special rules apply. Your transport officer should be able to advise in that instance.

it would probably make more sense to rent a left-hand car in the UK as transporting a car from the US to the UK would would take about 5 days and would be over triple the price of renting
