Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Athens to Jakarta

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.

Customs duties in Indonesia are determined based on the Customs Value (FOB), which is the cost of your goods plus freight and insurance. This is then combined with any applicable taxes such as Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Anti-Dumping Tax, characterized by specific tax rates. Here's a bit of number-crunching to illustrate.

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.
