Shipping prices
This is the primary price that you have to pay. This varies depending on the mode of car shipping that you select. Car shipping through air freight is the most expensive option with very quick delivery time and high quality service. There are several methods of oceanic transport that we offer. Car shipping by Roro ship is the cheaper option while car shipping can also be done through containers, either dedicated or consolidated. Both are more expensive than Roro ships but are still significantly cheaper than auto transport by air freight. Car shipping by land freight is also offered for certain countries within close proximity. This is also a cheaper option to be considered, if your destination is within reach.
Customs duties and taxes
The amount of duties and taxes that you are subjected to depends on the destination country. Different countries have different rates and regulations when it comes to car shipping duties. This can range from 10% to 300% of the value of the car. Our expert team will make certain that you will not have to pay anymore than the amount that should be paid for your auto transport.
Other expenses
There are also other expenses that are bound to come up in car shipping. These payments include port handling fees, agent fees etc. While these are minor charges in comparison to the earlier prices, we believe it is important that you, as our customer, are fully aware and prepared for such payments.
Factors affecting the car shipping cost
- Destination country
Whatever method you choose, there are some key factors which affect the cost of car shipping. The location to which you are planning to ship plays an integral role in the amount of the price. The farther away it is, the higher the cost. However, there are some countries which fall in popular shipping routes so shipping to those countries might not have such a high cost, should they be your destination.
- Vehicle type and size
While Car Shipping Dubai – CSD is well equipped for any type of vehicle, the final pricing will change with the type of your vehicle and its size. Put simply, if your vehicle takes more space and weighs more, it costs more for its auto transport. Different modifications might also add on to the overall price.
- Time of the year
The price we offer is also bound to change with what time you decide to transport your car. In peak seasons such as the Summer, there is heavy traffic in shipments so prices also might increase in those periods of time for auto transport.
