Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Brisbane to Rotterdam

Shipping a car to the Netherlands involves various costs and regulatory considerations. Here's a streamlined summary for better understanding: Shipping Costs: Expect to spend between $1,150 and $2,195, with the final amount depending on factors such as the vehicle's origin, type, size, and the chosen shipping method.

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.

Import duties for imported cars. For a car younger than 30 years this is 10% over the purchase value and transport costs. For cars older than 30 years you do not have to pay import duties. You then only pay 6% VAT on the purchase price.
