Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangalore to Dubai

To import a car from India to the UAE, the owner needs to get clearance from the Indian authorities and pay the import duties to the UAE authorities which is 5% on the CIF (cost freight insurance) value.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.

Importing a car to India can cost 100%–165% of the car's value, including customs duty, GST, registration charges, and homologation fees. Costs vary based on the car's engine capacity, age, and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value.
