Shipping Cost from Abu Dhabi to Kigali

Cost of Shipping Car from UAE to USA Here's a rough breakdown: Container Shipping: $3,000–$7,000 USD, depending on the container size and destination. RORO Shipping: $1,500–$3,500 USD, depending on the port and shipping route. Customs Duties: As mentioned, typically 2.5% of the car's value for passenger vehicles.

High Taxes on Fuel Cars: Importing petrol or diesel vehicles includes multiple duties— 25% customs, 18% VAT, plus excise tax based on the car's age and engine size. Longer Delivery Timelines: Between shipping and processing, it can take 4–8 weeks (or more) before your car is road-ready in Rwanda.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.
