If the ship is carrying cars as import or export cargo it will be a merchant ship - that is, a ship used for trading, tourism and so on, rather than for military purposes - and this merchant ship will be referred to as a cargo ship. If the cars are in containers, it will be called a container ship.

Other kinds of merchant vessel which carry cars are passenger ships such as ferries; these ships have special car decks so that motor vehicles can be driven on board by the passengers on embarkation and driven off again on disembarkation.

Some military vessels also carry motor vehicles, for military purposes.
