Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Anaheim, California to Marrakech

Import Duties and Restrictions: Import duties for cars shipped to Morocco can range widely, from 0% duty to 100% plus VAT, depending on various regulations and the car's value. Morocco has restrictions on importing cars that are 10 years old or older, ensuring that only newer vehicles enter 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.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.
