Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Amsterdam to Seoul

To import a Car in South Korea, the owner will have to live in the country for at least one year. Another requirement is that you must own the vehicle for three months before you can ship. However, you cannot import a Japanese car into the country.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Shipment Service members assigned to U.S. military components operating in Korea may be authorized to ship one privately owned vehicle (POV) at government expense as part of their Permanent Change of Station (PCS). This entitlement must be explicitly stated in your PCS orders.
