Shipping Cost from Cape Town to Lima

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.

Import of motor vehicles into Peru is costly and complex. Import duties and excise tax of 69% will be levied on all used cars and 30% on new vehicles based upon the value. Vehicles must not be older than 2 years or have mileage in excess of 32,000 kms.

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.
