Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Cape Town to Marrakech

If you bring your own car into Morocco, on arrival you need to present the original vehicle registration documents, insurance certificate and your passport to the customs officer, and complete the vehicle admission form. Photocopies and faxes are not acceptable.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Morocco typically costs $2,500–$5,000; 40-foot containers range from $4,200–$8,500 depending on origin. Average delivery times for sea freight to Morocco are 4–8 weeks; air freight options reduce transit time to 7–14 days.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
