Shipping Cost from Brisbane to Bucharest

First and foremost, Romania allows the import of used cars that meet at least Euro 4 emission standards. While Euro 4 is the minimum, vehicles meeting higher standards (Euro 5, Euro 6) are increasingly preferred and may face lower taxes. All imported vehicles must be right-hand drive to be road-legal in Romania.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.
