International Car Shipping Cost Calculator Overview

Inputs:
  • Distance (miles) - The distance between the origin and destination ports.
  • Car Size - The size of the car (Small, Medium, Large).
  • Shipping Method - Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) or Container Shipping.
Output:

Estimated cost of shipping the car internationally in USD.

Formula:

Base Cost = Distance × Rate per Mile

Total Cost = Base Cost × Car Size Multiplier × Shipping Method Multiplier

Rates: $1 per mile (base), Small: 1x, Medium: 1.2x, Large: 1.5x, RoRo: 1x, Container: 1.3x

Example:

For a medium car shipped 3000 miles via container:

Base Cost = 3000 × $1 = $3000

Total Cost = $3000 × 1.2 (Medium) × 1.3 (Container) = $4680

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of international car shipping depends on factors like the distance between the origin and destination, the size of the car (compact, sedan, SUV), and the shipping method (container or roll-on/roll-off). Our calculator estimates the cost by multiplying the distance by a rate per mile (e.g., $1.50/mile for container shipping) and adding a base fee based on car size and shipping method.

Container shipping involves placing your car in a secure container, offering more protection but at a higher cost (e.g., $1.50/mile). Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping means your car is driven onto a ship and exposed to the elements, which is cheaper (e.g., $1.00/mile) but less secure. Our calculator lets you choose the method to see the cost difference.

Yes, additional fees may include customs duties, taxes, port fees, and insurance, which are not included in our calculator’s estimate. These fees vary by country and shipping company. We recommend contacting your shipping provider for a detailed breakdown of all potential costs.
