Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Ankara to Antananarivo

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.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport, where your vehicle is exposed on a multi-car trailer, and by being flexible with dates, booking in advance (2+ weeks), and comparing multiple carrier quotes. For even more savings, consider terminal-to-terminal shipping, using a car shipping marketplace like uShip to get bids, or even hiring someone to drive it if feasible.
