Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Busan to Rotterdam

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.

Essentially, shipping from Korea is not expensive in itself, but it is international shipping that is expensive. In fact, Korea is considered one of the least expensive Asian countries for shipping.

Shipping from Korea to the US takes days to weeks for air freight (fastest) and weeks to months for sea freight (cheapest), depending heavily on the service (Express, Standard, Economy), carrier (FedEx, USPS, EMS), and customs, with express air taking 3-8 days and surface mail potentially 1-3 months.
