Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Athens to Yokohama

Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.

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.

The average price to ship a car from USA to Greece ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Greece from the United States are 10% duty + 24% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Greece.
